Hair Sporrans

[mull]

Here is mine:

The cantle looks quite heavy, does it weigh much? Enough that you can tell the difference between it and other sporrans you wear?
Just wondering,

Joe, the cantle is quite heavy, being made of silver.

I can't say I have noticed the weight in any way; in fact all of my sporrans "feel" about the same.

I realize he is the late Chief of the Clan MacTavish (he looks great, apart from the cream hose!), and I certainly do not mean any disrespect here, but I actually prefer my long hair sporran to reach past the selvedge of my kilt-not by a whole lot, but with the longer hair sporrans, I just think it looks better that way.

No disrespect here either, but I am surprised to see that picture. He seems to be doing all the things that we are being told not to do. He's wearing ghillie brogues, cream hose, and a fly plaid. His kilt looks like it's too long (or being worn too low on his knee), and his jacket sleeves seem a bit long as well. Is this photo an aberration, or are there really native Scots who do this?

Was Dunardry a native Scot?

Was Dunardry a native Scot?

My understanding was that he was a Canadian citizen.

[The Guy in the Kilt at UC]

Was Dunardry a native Scot?

I believe he was born in Montreal.

Back on topic...

I understand Kyle, I like the somewhat longer "Victorian" ones too, however I wouldn't mind one something along the lines of what our own Matt Newsome use to be seen wearing here:







I think this makes a rather nice long hair "day" sporran

Hi All-
Many are following my construction of a hair sporran over at kilted united forum. If any of your are interested in this process, you can see how I'll be constructing your sporrans;-)

I'm adding this to my queue of projects for when I'm reunited with my leather working tools this summer. Thanks!

[bchunter]

I too will be both following along and trying my hand on my own.

I just can't warm up to a sporran that only has one tassle... sorry, Matt...

It's like the sporranmaker ran out of tassels just when he had to ship out that sporran.
