Ohiopiper beat me to the thing about routing the chain through the keepers. I won't say it's a no-no, but I couldn't do it. It's not a style thing though...I swing my sporran over to the side when I drive and when I use the restroom and the last thing I would want is something interfering, especially if there's a line.

The only thing I would do is remove the patch. I just don't think they look right in that spot, especially since they almost always stick out from under a belt. They're easy to remove. If you don't feel comfortable removing it yourself anyone you know who sews, does alterations or quilts could have it off there in about a minute with no damage. It's stitched through the velcro, but isn't necessary for holding it on. Mine was off day one.

All said, you're off to a good start...much better than I was that's for sure.

Welcome to the obsession.
