In my continuing education in kilting, I am trying to learn how the various types of sporrans are constructed. I understand about standard day sporrans (leather sewn into a flapped bag) and fur-mounted (fur sewn on top of the basic leather bag). For horsehair and goat hair I am unsure.
I seem to have a hard time thinking they are made by scalping the horse and sewing it onto the leather bag like fur sporrans. And I think it would probably be impractical to be collecting cut hair into bundles which are then sewn down, a la American Indian roach headdresses.
Would someone please explain how it should truly be done?
