    Got my sporran straps from Robert at RKilts after a nightmare of communication and an incredible wait for Craigie. Maybe you'd have better luck than I with Craigie. But would suggest Robert if he's still making them.

    Like the dog leash and camera strap ideas too.

    I really like the straps they include with the sporrans here:

    http://www.mackenziefrain.com/acatal...Belt_Bags.html

    They don't have any chains or buckles, but instead one end laces through the other.

    I highly recommend MacKenzie Frain!

    I've a brown belt from them...very friendly service, they use high quality leather and the craftmanship is superb.

    Not cheap, but you get what you pay for...quality.

    There is some great looking stuff on that site, but those prices are a shock to the system. Very nice sporrans as well, but I would rather just pay 1/3 of the cost and get a Freelander sporran. Not only are you saving oney, but you are supporting a fellow member.

    For for sporran straps check outRobert at www.rkilts.com or email Rudi at www.celticempire.com I am sure both can sort you out for a good price.

    I quite agree about their prices Colin, and I do have a Freelander Sporran on the wish list. I do like that strap though, and it looks like it would be easy enough to duplicate, a long tapering strap with a few slots in it.

    Sporran straps

    Since you live in Fredneck, Westminster is not to far to drive. The shoe repair and biker leather shop on Main St. does leather work and repair. He repaired the snap on my sporran. Second generation shoe repair and leather workers.


    And by the way........Have you ever lived in gaithersburg? Hmmmmmm ,Have you?

    Nope, I've been Frederick since 1986 when I came here in the Army. Before that I lived in southern Illinois near St. Louis. I did drive past Gaithersburg for over 14 years while commuting to work.
