New Sporran Chain

[Panache]

...Also, make sure you deburr the rings and check all the joints. Panache had warned me about the dangers of shredding a wool kilt and I had notice some of the rings had not been closed as well as I thought.

Dave,

It certainly was very handsome in person at the Sacramento Games, I tip my hat to your skill.

Though even with deburring it I would probably save a sporran chain for dressy/ formal events.

So you have the patience and kill to work with chain mail, have you thought of turning your hand to leather braiding?

It strike me that one might combine the two to make really unique looking sporran straps/chains

Very good seeing Saturday!

Cheers

Thanks for the kind comments.

Leather? Just what I need, another addiction. Are chains more for formal/evening or is it the color that decides that? Would a chain in brass be better for day wear? I could use an excuse to buy more brass. Something like this but longer.


Thanks again.

Dave,

The issue with sporran chains is usually less about level of formality, and more about wear and tear on the kilt. Its been observed by some that chains abrade the wool over time (hence Panache's concerns about deburring) and thus many have gone to leather belts/straps for everyday wear, and save the chains for the less frequent dress-up occasions that call for an evening sporran.

Best regards,
