Sporran chain vs. Sporran leather strap

[al' Sporrano]

I've had a similar reaction. I was in Geoffrey (tailor) in Edinburgh recently and brought up the subject. Staff dismissed the problem as a myth.

Having said that, I'm inclined to trust Hamish's view and now alternate between a strap and a chain according to function. No problem with either as it happens, though I prefer the chain.

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.
