    It really is a handsome sporran, and I was delighted to be able to deliver it to you on Pete's behalf. Congratulations on a fine sporran, unfortunately dress sporrans generally lack any kind of storage space. As far as switching out the chain belt for a braided model from RKilts, I would have to see them together before I made that decision. As the sporran is a dress model I would be worried that the RKilts sporran strap while good quality would not match up to the quality of the sporran. Just my two cents but the only times a sporran such as this would be appropriate would be Burns nights etc. I think the belt that came with it would be the one to use, I mean it would most likely be safe to wear it for a few hours at a time without any ill effects.

    The sporran strap although of fairly decent quality is on the large size (even at the smallest setting). Now if I get robert to mack new leather for it in the oxblood to match my ranger belt I'd consider using the chain. Also being a gold chain it will tie into the sporran but unless I'm wearing more gold it might clash. I'm hoping to wear it more than just strictly formal functions so I'm going to start calling it a semi-dress model .
