Yes those strangely ornate bling sporran chains are the latest Pipe Band fad to be foisted upon the unsuspecting kiltwearing world.
One of the "big boys" Grade One Pipe Bands went out and got those things, and of course all the other bands started following suit.
Not to say that they didn't exist in the old days... they did, but were very rare expensive silver things, not the mass-produced chromeplated things they have now.
I'll stick with my old-school long-link chain strap with my band sporran, and a plain leather belt with my goathair sporran.
Ian Grant offers quite a few designs of those fancy chains
