so i now use a normal belt which i bought from Big N Tall (i wanted to make sure it'd be long enough!!) for most occasions and only have a chain for more formal ones.

i think the 'hangers' look pretty cool, but not one single kilt shop in my area had even heard of them and refused to try to source them for me.
Forget kilt shops and sporran makers. Go to a harness maker. A sporran strap is no different than making a set of reins.
