Sporrans and 'real' sporrans.

[Micric]

Firstly I must thank everyone for contributing in such a kind and generous manner!

Thanks to OC Richard for the photos of the catalogues,...Wonderful!

M.O R,

Thank you too, and would it be possible for you to show a picture of your brass cantled leather sporran?

The simple advice, "Brown/Brass =daytime, & fur/silver evening" has been noted.

I undertood these basic rules, but was ignorant of the fact that to be day-wear, a fur sporran should be full mask configurtaion.
I had thought that fur + brass or whatever would be OK for day-wear.

Thank you for putting me right!!

Without this site, I'd travel many miles before I learned all these things!

Thank you All!

By all means a fur & brass sporran would be acceptable for day wear-- I certainly didn't mean to imply otherwise. There are a couple of photos floating around XMTS of my sporran, both close up and being worn. You can probably find photos if you search under "Greenville Scottish Games", or "brass cantle sporrans".
