I would like to get everyone's opinion out there on this. I currently have a chain belt for my sporran. It is a very nice chain belt, but it does get kind of heavy sometimes and it seems a little too flashy. I would like to get a sporran belt. I have a few questions for all of you:

1st: Are there times you would recommend a plain leather belt over a chain? Which do you prefer? (my only experience is what I read in SO YOUR GOING TO WEAR THE KILT)

2nd: Can I just buy a really long 3/4" black belt to use as a sporran belt?

Thanks for the help.
