Al,

Remember that most men who buy a kilt and sporran will only wear it a couple of times a year, so the wear on the kilt due to the chain will be negligible. People like Ham, who wear kilts every day, are much more likely to suffer wear.

The guy I spoke to was a regular kilt wearer. He'd had no problems with the chain himself.
