I am never one to buy something without first seeing it in person, but my local leather shop was pretty disappointing in their selection of deer hide. They would have to order some, and that does me no good either. The hand and tactile quality of leather is very important to me, so I was wary to order online. Anway, I found a deal that I just couldnt pass up. Even if the leather was not exactly what I wanted, at least I wasn't loosing all that much cash on the deal.

I received the leather today and it is everything that I wanted. Buttery soft yet very substantial. The hide was advertised as nearly perfect, which it is not, but at the price I paid I really cant complain. There are several little scuffs and holes that are going to be a pain to work around to get the most mileage out of this hide. It will be a matter putting the surface flaws where they are not going to detract from the quality of the sporran.

Anyway, those of you who have sporrans coming from me-you know who you are-should be very pleased with this leather. I can't wait to get started.
