Ok, I'm sure there are millions of threads like this, but, I'll ask anyway.

I'm wanting to buy a horsehair sporran, but the costs are just too much to bear on my budget. Therefore, I'm considering synthetic horsehair (unless I manage to find a good deal on eBay for a regular one).

So, before I even go so far as to look for one, I want to know:
Are they any good?
Now, if you're just going to say something like "they're horrible. buy a real one,"
please, don't post; comments like that just aren't helpful.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between them in their texture and practicality. How are they on maintenance?

I appreciate your help!
