    Robert,

    The plaid and outfit look great, except for the modern sporran and chain belt. 18th C. style sporrans (either all leather or with a metal cantle) are available. The sporran can hang directly from the main waistbelt (most common) or from a separate all-leather belt. The dirk should hang from the waitbelt, NOT the sporran strap....

    Expensive as hell, but the sporrans on this page are just right:

    And period leather sporrans here:
