Around 20 years ago a friend found a number of Scottish-made sealskin Evening Dress sporrans complete with chainstraps in the purse section of an ordinary Department Store (Macy's or some such).
These were stamped MADE IN SCOTLAND REAL LEATHER and were normal mens sporrans.
Sealskin at the time was illegal to import, but here they were!
He bought one, and told me about them. When I went down they had all been sold. I think they were around $40, a fraction of what they would have cost as sporrans.
