Thumpity, thumpity, thumpity

Ok, I'm sure this is a super-newbie question, but I'm curious...

When I walk around, the tassles on the front of the sporran bounce against the leather with every step, creating their own little drumbeat. Even with some things in the sporran it is fairly obvious. I'd have to pack it solid to eliminate it I think.

Is that normal? Does it mean I'm wearing it wrong? If I raise the level the sporran hangs it is less pronounced, but then the sporran is too high (at least, it isn't positioned right "on target" if that's correct).

I have the same problem and can't wait to read the experts' answers.

I would not get too worried, if I were you.

I wasn't so much worried as wondering if I was just wearing it wrong.

Precisely, no need to worry and I am sure that you are wearing the sporran just so. Have fun.

The noise was one of the reasons I gave up wearing sporrans.

I am trying to drive my wife crazy with the rythmic banging of the tassles. So the more I wear the kilt, he loonier she gets, right?

Some folks put a small dot of silicone on the back of each tassel to anchor it to the front of the sporran - otherwise just enjoy marching to the beat of your own drummer.
