    My business day sporran is a former Army lower ranks brown leather one with NO tassles. I don't think we'll cary on with this line of reasoning. (Voice rises).

    Cheers, Graham.

    I prefer NO tassels on a sporran.

    How do you like them apples?

    Brass! "Hey, check out the set of brass tassels on that one!"

    That sounds just wrong!

    There was a picture in another thread of Sir Sean wearing a sporran with two tassels. If two are good enough for Sir Sean.........................

    Late on this topic, but to chime in...my semi-formal DIY sporran has two horse-hair tassels. I've gotten all sorts of compliments on it, including from "traditionalist" Scots folks.
