Thistle Plain Top Dress Sporran

About

  • Impressively detailed thistle emblem
  • 3 chrome ball tassels
  • Engraved bands of Celtic knot work
  • Handmade in Scotland
  • Finest seal skin

Description

Unsurprisingly, this thistle-topped sporran is one of our most popular. The thistle is synonymous with Scotland and the rugged nature of the national flower translates to this impressively masculine sporran.

The cantle has refined bands of engraved Celtic knotwork which frame an exquisitely detailed thistle. Legend has it that the thistle won this pride of place in Scottish lore by helping to foil a stealthy Viking attack.

This sporran is restrained in its detail, making it the ideal sporran for the man of refined taste and pride. The sealskin used in making this sporran complements the overall feel of this accessory with its subtle sheen and silky feel.

The colours of this natural material will vary according to the seasons, making your sporran unique. Please be aware that as we cannot import seal skin into the USA we will substitute this with material of an equally high standard.

Where can I find more in-depth information about kilts & tartans?

Kilts and Tartan Made EasyScotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.

As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.

Wrote... Does everything it needs to do. If you export to the US, they substitute bovine (cow) fur, which feels and looks nice regardless. Very pretty shade of gray. But regarding the strap and measurements. my proper waist is a 31.5, my waist where i wear pants is a 33. I felt that the small chain which they recommend up to a 34 was too small. Go with the bigger one-- its always easier to make it smaller than larger.

Wrote... This is my first time using this site. The selection and price are much better than anything I've found in the US. The website is easy to navigate. The quality of the merchandise is first rate. I ordered a dress sporran, kilt pin and watch. Each item arrived exactly as pictured, and best of all ahead of schedule. I'm certain I'll be using this site again.
