I just received a basic sporran today and it had the standard belt and chain. The hooks were kind of flimsy and the pin in the buckle had rough edges that would have snagged any vest or possibly the kilt.

So, I had some black para-chord, a plastic buckle and a couple of bolt snaps. The knots I used were the "cross knot" also known as the true "square knot".

I think it turned out pretty nice.
