I was at Target today buying a brown leather belt with a brass Rampant Lion belt buckle I saw the other week ( the pics of the Tartan Hiker, PDCorlis, and others looking dapper with brown belt/sporran combo inspired me).

I was thinking about how the chain on the sporran belt that came with my sporran was wearing on my kilt's front apron (just like Hamish is always saying) and wished I could just buy a thin inexpensive black belt to replace it. Of course men's belts are never that thin. I looked down at my 3 year old daughter who hiding within the belt rack. I realized a girl's belt just might. Two minutes later I found a sturdy 3/4" wide plain black leather belt (a ladies large) over in women's accessories for $12.99. I took it home and punched an extra belt hole in it and voila', a perfect fitting sporran belt.

Unlike my chain belt, the leather one seems to keep the sporran from swishing about. The leather part of the old chain belt was exactly 3/4" wide though much cheaper leather. It may not be an "official" sporran belt but it seems like it works just as well.
