I have found the after a few uses the leather belt molds to a bit of a dip where the sporran hangs, making it fit even better.

    Simple but it works!

    James, that is precisely how day sporrans have been attached to their all-leather straps for many years - until recently! Dress sporrans always had the little strap thingee with D rings at either end slotted through the 'sleeve' on the back of the sporran itself, but day sporrans no, never.

    Apart from being simple,uncluttered and kind to one's kilts this system means that the sporran can simply be slid along the strap, to one side or the other, whenever required - and there ARE times when that is so useful.
