A new sporran for Jock?

Jock did say he liked the MOR sporran.

Hope it all goes well, Jock.

These are also available with brass cantles according to his website: http://www.ncmilne.co.uk/sporrans/sporrans.html

Surely these beautiful sporrans are for daywear, no?

This one has to be my favorite out of all of them. Dressy, classy, yet simple.

Yes indeed that sporran does have some merit, but I find the cantle rather loud.

This is a good topic.

I've never been overly fond of fur sporrans (I do have one though) and was wondering about alternatives.

I like the idea of some kind of exotic leather, with or without a metal cantle.

Now, that's as fine a speciman as I've ever seen. Killer.

I'm not qualified to give an opinion, Jock.

But I do look forward to seeing what MacMillan of Rathdown suggests, now that JSFMACLJR and Matt Newsome have weighed in.

Oh, god - more accessory porn. Just when I was trying to wean myself off of it! Sandy, I just love your taste!

Regards,
Rex.

M.O.R,

I do believe you are on the right track with your suggestions for Jock's sporran!

Jock,
You need to get Ken Hunt to engrave the cantle!!.......odd grouse, a stag,..... deer pony... rusty old stalker....

or, if you think you're slowing down a bit, how about Tortoise shell?!?! :-)
