    Awesome Sporran Chains IMHO

    I just saw these pictures while checking out a new site that I found called http://www.kapitalkilts.com

    I couldn't find any information on their accessories for sale, but I really really liked these sporran chains.

    I know it's not a good idea to wear metal sporran chains with a nice dress kilt, because it will eventually damage the kilt, but I'd be willing to take my chances with either of these. Both of them are sweet in my opinion.

    Does anyone know where you can buy sporran chains like these?

    Found them on ScotWeb and they would look great, very formal looking.

    One of them is definately on my "To Get List"

    I have a dress sporran chain that I wear and though it is not as nice as those, it looks better than a regular chain, and I find it's better for my kilt than a regular chain, as far as snags go. Of course I only wear it for formal occasions. You can kind of see it in the last two photos on the 10 looks thread.

    Maybe it's due to a drop in the finished quality of sporran chains in that last 35 years or so, but I've never once had any of my sporran chains snag, chafe, or rub my kilts.

    Here's another pretty spiffy one, with US Air Force uniform buttons on the chain. Custom-made sporran/belt set that belongs to my daughter.
