Synthetic/Normal Horsehair Sporrans

[Rex_Tremende]

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,

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