Wearing a sporran

[freddie]

I'm a fairly big guy (46inch waist) and have always had a problem with my sporran chain. Not having 'hips' to sling it around it falls below my belly and gathers up the loose material under it and looks a mess. I've tried hooking the chains over the kilt buckles which helps and I recently bought an American designed 'Craigie sporran sling' which snaps onto the belt either side of the buckle and alows the sporran to hang free at the correct hight. The only trouble here is that if the sporran is too heavy it pulls the belt down at the front which again looks a mess (although of course wearing the belt tighter would help). Has anyone else encountered this problem and could they give me some advice ?

Hello, i seem to have the same problem. To solve the problem I put the sporran chain the closet fartherst hole (tighter I guess). I than put my kilt belt on ( I use the belt loops) than I put the sporran chain on top of the belt.
It seems to work fine for me. Since I have done this i do not have a lot of problems with bunching up. Since I my waist and hips are only off by 1 , i do need to use the belt loops and keep my belt very tight, So the kilt does not slide off.

Your kilt should have two sets of loops-broad ones for a belt, and small ones for the sporran.

That keeps everything nicely in place.
