This afternoon, I received the long-link sporran chain I'd ordered from the Scottish Trading Company. The link appears earlier in this thread.
The chain is better than I'd thought it would be from the photos on their website. The welds are not in the center of the links, as they appeared in the photos.
The strap portion is that dreadful "pressed leather" stuff, but given how seldom I'll have occasion to wear it, I'm sure it will suffice. Worst case scenario, I have my local shoe repair shop or bridle maker replace the leather portion.
I'm including a few photos, though I'm not sure how well they'll show the details:
I think it will do nicely with my antique horsehair sporran!
All in all, I'm pleased with the purchase.
Cheers,
SM
