At Clansman Saddlery, we take pride in crafting traditional field-sports saddlery and leatherwork that blends heritage craftsmanship with modern practicality.
Whether you’re stalking deer across the Highlands, working over rough country, or out for a long day’s ride, our field-sports range is built for comfort, durability, and timeless style.
Deer Saddles
Handcrafted for balance, comfort, and tradition.
Our deer saddles are inspired by the classic Glenstrathfarrer design and refined for today’s riders. Built with closed-cell foam or hand-stuffed rye-straw panels, Prolite linings, and reinforced girthing options, each saddle provides exceptional stability and support on varied terrain.
Use-case: Ideal for deer stalking, estate work, and long-distance hill riding.

Grouse Panniers
& Pannier Slings
Traditional craftsmanship
meets practicality.
Our grouse panniers combine hand-woven willow baskets, made by one of Britain’s few remaining traditional basket makers, with bespoke leather straps and canvas slings crafted in-house.
Every detail is designed for strength, comfort, and balance, ensuring even weight distribution across the saddle. Built to withstand the toughest conditions, each set is made to serve season after season while preserving the heritage and authenticity of traditional field sport.
Use-case: Grouse shooting, game transport, estate fieldwork, or country pursuits.
Cartridge Belts & Game Bags
Classic field gear,
made to measure.
We handcraft cartridge belts and game bags from the finest English bridle leather, chosen for its strength, suppleness, and timeless appeal. Each piece is finished with solid brass fittings, hand-stitched details, and the same attention to craftsmanship that defines all of our work at Clansman Saddlery. Designed to perform beautifully in the field and age gracefully over time, these are items made not just for a season, but for a lifetime of use.
Every belt and bag is made to order, allowing you to choose your preferred width, colour, buckle style, and stitching finish. Whether you’re after the understated elegance of traditional Havana leather, a classic chestnut tone, or something with a modern twist, your gear can be personalised to reflect your own taste. For an added touch, we also offer engraved initials or embossed motifs, making your belt or bag truly one of a kind.
Beyond their refined appearance, our cartridge belts and game bags are built for practicality. The design allows for quick access to cartridges while keeping weight evenly distributed for comfort on long shooting days. Lined interiors and reinforced seams ensure reliability even in challenging weather conditions.
Use-case: Perfect for shooting, beating, or any country pursuit where style meets durability.
Whether you’re looking for a traditional deer saddle, bespoke panniers, or handcrafted accessories for the field, we’re here to help. Every item we make is tailored to your needs and designed to perform in the country’s toughest environments.
