    accessory suggestion (for the big fellas)

    I was shopping around online and found the USA Kilts accessories to be very competetively priced. That said, if USAK wants to get more into selling accessories as well as kilts, I have a suggestion.



    Sporran Sling.

    For big guys like me, the wrap-around chain that comes with the USAK sporrans tends to bulk up between the sporran and the belt. I'm also worried about the wear and tear of the chain against the fabric for daily use. Since I'm going to be wearing a kilt to work on a regular basis now, considerations like this are important.

    I found this being sold for about $25 elsewhere. I don't particularly care if the strap itself is chain or leather in this sort of configuration as it is not going to be as abrasive against the fabric this way.

    Craigie is making them to order for about $25. I ended up getting one of those for the time being. If you had a bunch pre-made for your 1-3/8" belts it would be a convenience for others perhaps. I already got mine on order now so please don't just get one in on my account. ;-)

    We have those leather straps here (we use them for the Victory Kilt sporrans). If you want, you can trade in the chain for a couple of those clips. If you're nice, I'll even put them on your sporran for you.

    Ah crrrrap I wish I would have seen that before I called someone else. I checked out your site before suggesting it to you not thinking that maybe you would have something in the shop that wasn't yet on the site.

    Ah well. I've got one on the way already.

    Thanks for the offer anyway.

    Sporran sling

    I have one of these Craigie sporran slings, and it works well.

    One caution, however . . . these are not the best choice if you're doing Scottish Country Dancing or another activity that involves vertical movement . . .
