    It looks like they make them after you order. might be worth asking about a long hair option. I'm fairly intrigued by the 1/2 face sporrans. wonder how well an flat face sporran would be accepted.

    No sizes given for these sporrans....any clue what size they are?? Nothing shown in the pics to reference the size either.

    Still no clue why some sporran makers think size isn't important for the customer to know.

    Also no clue about what the backside attachments are...will a sporran strap work?

    Maybe I'll catch them at a venue somewhere and eyeball them to see the answers.

    Not a good sign when such basic information isn't forthcoming on the webpage.

    Like the bear fur one too.

    I have one of their hair/fur sporrans (highland cow). When you open the gussetted pouch, you have a rectangular opening 5.5" x 3". The pouch is 7" deep, and 7" across at the widest point. There is a substantial leather loop on the backside that would accept up to a 1.75" sporran strap or belt. It is held on by heavy brass rivets.

    Mine is very well and heavily constructed, and is entirely hand-stitched (other than for the aforementioned rivets). I'd buy another from them in a heartbeat...!

    There are several that I like. Besides the black bear, the buffalo, silver fox, and coyote.
