Improved Sporran Chain

[James MacMillan]

The chains commonly used by some can cause damage to a kilt. You will be much better served, in my opinion, if you get a plain leather strap. Save the chains for more formal times.

I think the leather and chains sold with entry level sporrans, are included just because they are cheap to make.

I note that Farlander is wearing a dress sporran so I make the assumption that he is working on a replacement chain for dress outfit. If not, then the suggestions for a simple leather strap are spot on.

I found that out of the 5 or so chain belts I have receieved with various sporrans the only really nice chain came with my Buzz Kidder sporran. It lacked the leather belt part but the chain was substantial and well finished. After shrtening it to the proper length I took the liberty of removing the sharp cheap looking clasps and replacing them with small lobster claw clasps from the craft store.

I still have two claps left over so another project will be making a black dress chain from the length I got from Jerry at Stillwater.

Cheers
