The Belt of Substance

[davidlpope]

The kilt belt looks great, but get a separate leather strap or chain strap for your sporran mate!

Here's a good explanation by Jeff (from another thread) that explains why that might not be the best choice for GoS...:

Traditional or no, for us Men of Substance who carry moderate to considerable guts/pottbellies around the use of sporran hangers is more of a necessity than a variance from tradition. If you have any size gut hanging below the typically high position of a kilt belt, your sporran on a standard sporran strap or chain will tend to wander south below the gut and bunch up and wrinkle your apron big time between your sporran and your belt---the bigger the gut, the more this happens. I agree that sporran hangers do tend to pull down on your belt, requiring you to occasionally readjust, but not nearly so frequently as with a sporran chain or strap.

I envy those of you who can wear a standard chain or strap because of this, and I actually try to reduce the weight of my sporran by adding a sidecar---a small belt pouch-- to the side of my belt to carry some of the more frequently used and often heavier items like keys, change, cash, credit card. Others have used devices on the underside of the belt to keep it from slipping down as easily---no-slip belts and grippy rubber dots and such.

Being large in the kilted world has its own set of issues to deal with, sporran hangers only being one.
