this might be a dumb question, but

The pictures I have seem show a leather style strap that goes part way around the waist and then a chain that actually connects to the sparron, what keeps it from falling down if you do not have belt loops (which I do not)?

Basically with a bit of trial and error you get the tension of the sporran belt/chain right and your body curves do the rest. Your sporran needs to hang rather higher than you may think and in passing, a leather sporran strap will be kinder to your kilt than a chain may be.

It's all in the hips!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of wearing the kilt. Please never allow a fear of a 'dumb' question get in your way to a more informed position on highland attire. I myself came to this board a short time ago knowing very little about wearing a kilt, and now the ladies say that I'm quite stylish!
