lots out there for dubbing but hard press to find it on an inch pad like deer or elk.

Check fleabay for Scottish sporrans. That's the man purse worn on the front of a kilt. Many older ones were seal, most today are any number of things but the seal lookalikes are dyed cow.

Probably a long shot as a good condition older one will be pricey but you might luck into a ratty one thats not really a collectible.

Oh, and I ain't parting with my seal sporran.

I can get it here easily in many colors, pre-blended and ready to use.

In my years selling fly tying materials, I can't remember seeing real seal fur available in the US. Probably a law against it like polar bear hair.

Good luck.
