    I love the look of both the Thorfinn, and Freelander sporrans. Someday ...

    Having seen both Freelanders and Thorfinns (Turpin's brand), I can say both are solid, well-made products of approximately equal size.
    But I like the extra little touches (key holder, cell phone pocket, interchangeable flaps, customized sizes) that Turpin offers.
    So I would go with the Thorfinn Custom Sporran.

    And I have gone to Turpin, four times now. That's my Frankenchuck (and my cat) pictured on the "Fur and Animal Mask" page.

    Not to dis a Freelander, but you really must at least talk to Turpin.

    Good choice in a sporran. I've worn one that I made for several years and believe it to be the most practical sporran I own.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with a Thorfinn, I own one, howewver if you want the sporran in the photo then talk to David at Freelander Sporrans or see if Steve has any in stock as he carries them.

    Another option that's "like" that sporran is Wyvern Leatherworks


    You can see a pic of mine in this thread.


    I got mine a little while ago, with a custom image on the flap and I just love it. But now I need one in black. Heh heh.
