    I bought one of those all leather, Chrome Cantled Economy Sporrans from the Celtic Croft, Panache is discussing, to go with a formal, or black tie outfit I was trying to put together.
    I would like a traditionalist's oppinion.

    It was stated a rabit fur sporran is not acceptible for black tie attire.
    Are full mask skunk sporrans also not acceptible?

    Ted,

    Who stated a rabbit fur sporran is unacceptable for black tie formal wear?

    Why wouldn't a rabbit fur sporran be appropriate for black tie wear?

    If you are thinking of the semi-dress brown rabbit fur sporrans from Stillwater kilts with the leather flap you would be correct.

    That is a nice day wear sporran.

    What determines it as a day wear sporran is the style and color.

    The black version, while not perfect, would be OK with a formal outfit (though it would be better with some bright work on the flap.

    Also why would you single out a full mask skunk sporran as being different from other full mask sporrans? I can't see why the type of critter would matter? To the best of my understanding all full mask sporrans are acceptable in all levels of formality.

    Hope this was of help

    Cheers
