Thanks for the nice review, Ray!

Just in case people are curious about the size of the opening, we do have a few muskrat fur Glengyle models in stock at a special sale price of $340 (normally $375) that have slightly smaller openings that the standard Glengyles. I believe this is one of those that you have.

In this case, the opening of the cantle on yours will be 6" across. The standard for a Glengyle is 6.75" across, if I recall correctly (it's still before 6:30am and I haven't had my second cup of coffee yet!). Some of the Ferguson Britt sporrans have much wider openings, for example the Inverarnan and the Inverlochy styles have very wide mouths, though I'd have to get my ruler out to tell you just how wide at the present moment.

Another factor to keep in mind when ordering any Ferguson Britt sporran is that the plain leather models are made with a gusset, whereas the fur faced ones are not. This means that the plain leather sporrans will have a slightly larger holding capacity and the cantles will be able to open a bit wider, as well.

So if someone has a large, meaty hand to contend with, I'd recommend something along the lines of an Inverlochy in leather -- the "wide mouth bass" of sporrans! :-)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the muskrat Glengyle. We all really enjoyed petting that fur while it was in our stock. Many people are surprised at just how soft muskrat can be!
