Just personal preference I guess.

    I find it the best of both worlds.
    Oconee makes sporran straps of that type, with beveled/burnished leather edges:

    Mojo Leather has 'em with non-swiveling clips, or a basic "belt" type sporran strap. Again, both have beveled/burnished edges:

    I just ordered one of the abovementioned "basic" sporran belts from Mojo Leather in dark brown, mainly for air travel purposes.

    ???, you may ask.

    Whatever sporran I wear on a plane will almost certainly be my dark brown Ferguson Britt "Glen Shira Mor" or my brown Stillwater leather cargo sporran. Other sporrans I might wear at a destination are also F-Bs: Either my black Duin Uasal or my Glengyle Fur (black cantle & tassels w/natural beaver fur). The F-Bs come with a unique sporran strap I really love -- but that strap is not so well suited for quickly & easily getting the sporran off & on again when going through TSA security screening.

    Actually, I just thought of a similar screening thing likely to come up more quickly than a plane flight somewhere. I just received a summons to jury duty with a report date of June 14. If I do get selected, I expect I'll be the only kilted juror. . .
