Salmon Leather

[Ryan Ross]

At $40 just for shipping, you're nearing the range of buying a stingray skin or several other nice exotics.

Bingo! If you want to avoid fur, while also getting something more than just "leather", ray skin is an awesome material to think about. I've seen a couple sporrans made in this material, and they are knock-outs.

As for the salmon skins... if they were a bit larger and you could get a whole sporran facing out of a single skin, then I'd think it was an excelent material. But as it is, you'll have a seam showing and you have a supplier that is not up front about the price of materials, and whose shipping prices are quite high.

I'd put some serious thought into how much you want to be the only man around with a fish sporran.

Ryan, I will have my redfish skin sporran, so Xman won't be the only one!
