Crossed or straight sporran tassels

[Jock Scot]

Thanks for the reply I could well be overthinking it - but as I have no experience, I just wanted to check with those that have. For all I know, there could be a chorus of guys saying “crossed tassels may look nice, but they won’t stay in place and every time you sit or stand, you have to untangle and straighten them.” - I like the crossed look very much, but not when it’s wonky - which I’ve seen in quite a few photos.

I can’t say that I have ever noticed! In truth, from a practical point of view, I have no personal experience of that style of sporran and in my experience it is not a style of sporran that I see very often around here.
