I recently made an amazing purchase of kilt related items. The main item of interest was a beautiful old seal sporran. (Pics to come soon.) It came with a chain strap (per usual) but this one is very different from the current chrome plated crap you usually get. It is obviously silver plated because it is tarnished. I wouldn't dare to venture it is solid silver, that would be just too lucky for words, and it has no hallmark, so I am assuming silver plate. The chain is really smooth with solidly soldered links...no burrs. Being one to listen to the kilt wisdom of others, I only wear a sporran with straps or hangers/suspenders. My question is, are sporran chains a bad idea in general for wear on the kilt, or is that advice based on modern chrome sporran chains rather than a really nice chain that is more akin to a pocket watch chain?
