Further to my Sgian dubh post (I am getting a real one). The next dilema is as above.
I was quite happy to get a real sealskin sporran, but they are a bit boring, everyone has got one, was looking for something a bit different like the one below.
My kilt is grey, like this:

And I am considering this synthetic Grey Fox Sporran, only because all the natural grey/sliver fox sporrans are actually brown:

So would I be breaking some unwritten Scottish law by buying synthetic fur (except of course MTFU).?
If I think it looks good does it matter?
I quite fancy a rabbit fur one but as with the fox, they are not totally grey, at least the colour is guaranteed with this one?
Is it a nylon kilt? If not, buy a dead animal to stick on the front. That's the point and they look much better, I bought two of my sporrans from a maker in Perth, name escapes as it was a while back. From memory they'd make you a sporran from pretty much anything and in a whole range of colours.
You'll be able to get a grey one if you look hard enough. What about a badger head sporran? I have an antique one and it's pretty grey in colour. Also great for starting conversations at black tie functions!
I've got a posh mink one for dress and a leather one for casual. Saying that I'd probably go synthetic now.
Both my sporrans are from deid coo. A simple leather one for "casual" wear and a furry one for dress.
Saying that I'd probably go synthetic now
Why?
Get a seal one in grey

Except get a kilt that fits eh?
LOL at onion.
Get a seal one in grey
As I said in my OP, I could but they are a bit boring, everyone has one, wanted something a bit different TBH.
I get a seal one as part of the package, but wanted to upgrade to something else.
I cant help my buffness going up and down.

Interesting sporrans here....
Edit - I got married in a kilt like that I just had a plain black leather sporran understated.
I don't like seal sporrans myself, I have a goat one which is ace - and a very orange one but I can't remember what furry beast that was before it was skinned and stiched 😉
Goat ones are fab though, if you don't mind looking a [s]bit[/s] [i]lot[/i] more disrespectable 😉
You've got a grey kilt and you're worried about real/fake sporrans & Sgian Dubhs? 😉
I believe the scalp of an Englishman is the original material that was used 😉 😆
Basically you should be able to pour a day's supply of porridge into your sporran, and have a wee purse on it to hold your silver.
Any more than 2 tassels on the sporran is boasting. Except for pipers - they're better endowed than the rest of us.
Definitely a dead animal. More kudos if you kill your own baby seal with your wee black knife...
🙂
all joking aside... I've got a beaver sporran.. not far off this one
( the dangly bits are diff )
