    I would wear the day sporran, unless there is a problem with it that you're not telling us.

    I find it very confusing anymore trying to figure out what people mean by formal, semi-formal, or informal. It is very clear what people mean when they say "Black Tie", but everyone seems to define semi-formal and informal differently. I was told recently that "informal" meant coat and tie; I was planning to wear slacks and a sweater!

    I think you're outfit for the evening will be fine, unless your son throws up on you on your way out the door!

    Okay, so I guess I have to ask....why can't the sporran your son barfed on be cleaned?

    My daughter did a runny poop on my rabbit fur parka ruff and it came out fine. I dabbed most of it out while still wet then once it dried I got the rest out with some baby powder and a dog brush.

    Well, I was wearing a kilt at the time- obviously- and it was PV, so I took it off and asked my wife to wash it. She thought I meant the whole thing... Sporrans don't seem to tolerate washing machines very well...

    Ah, so it got wet and warped out of shape....

    Well if it still has all it's stitches, fur, ect, and the only problem is that it's now shaped funny, you can re-wet it and put it under something heavy until it dries. It won't be in time for your dinner -- therefore my vote is for the custom daywear one you have -- but it will live again!

    I got upset and trashed it. That was a long night...
