How low does the sporran hang?

[Rex_Tremende]

I prefer a sporran that is higher rather than lower for a couple of reasons. First is that it's a pocket on a strap, not a fig leaf. And second, it is neither a sling. I don't think it should hang any lower than the widest part of one's abdomen, if he's a gentleman of substance. When it does hang low, it either bounces against the privates, or draws the apron in around one's middle, which wrinkles the kilt and shows off your figure 9 body.

Regards,
Rex.

Higher is my preference also.
I'm more of a figure 1 and a low sporran always feels to me as if the strap is about to slip below my hips (through the back loops or no).

I like McMurdo's Rule...hmm, McMurdo's Rule, sounds like a theorem...anyway, I like that position for standing. For sitting, I push the sporran to the side for comfort.

I grow fig trees... I could literally go pick a fig leaf and put it on the front of my sporran. Some of them are bigger than a sporran.

That being said, it would be funny to have a fig leafe embossed into the leather of a sporran. It would look a tiny bit like a grape leafe.

Actually, Ted, I have seen one of these in a photo online somewhere about two or three years ago. The leather was dyed leaf green, too. I nearly posted it here, but I felt that it was a little too literal for the mood here at the time. I looked for it again just now, but all I turned up were a few oak leaf interpretations that give nearly the same effect. Wouldn't mind if someone found it again to let me know.
