From Medieval Purse To Military Uniform

I have access to otter and was thinking it would look good. But the bobcat would look good too.

So, is otter illegal in Scotland? So having a sporran made of otter in the States, just considered bad taste?

I don't know if it shows up on our web site, but any of the Ferguson Britt sporrans can be made with otter fur. The maker describes it as "not quite as soft as beaver."

Yes, Bobcat does look fantastic. :-)

Matt, you just can't resist making us all drool.

You should see some of the craigie full masks of bobcat if you are into drool. So realistic it almost looks like the cat is drooling.

The "Mo" which we all know produces "Mohair" is also an endangered species.

While in california recently I found an absolutly smashing vest made of luxurious black New Zeland opposum. I don't know if opossum's in NZ are black or if it's dyed but it's going to make a great sporan.

Goats are endangered?

Apologies for wandering well off topic.

New Zealand's possums were introduced from Australia and have become a major pest.

They come in black as well as grey.

Of course there is also the Nauga, which is the source of Naugahide.
