    I wouldn't go that way if you can avoid it. I saw some synthetic horsehair sporrans at a local shop here the other day, and for some reason they reminded me of the fake musical instruments I got for Christmas one year when I was a tot. To my eye, they looked not the least bit real, poorly constructed, and beyond cheesy.

    Sorry - that was pretty close to what you asked not to hear.

    YMMV,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Pretty much the same here, I saw both for sale recently at the Highland games, from a distance both looked grand, once you get up close the difference become very pronounced.

    They $$$$$$$ is greatly pronounced also. I too agree you may be far more pleased saving your pennies and get the real one, it will last longer and I sure your pride in it will be well worth the wait and $$$$$$$.
