I purchased a $300 L&M Dress sporran in beaver through Matt at STM. I know its a dress sporran. Don't know that I'll ever find a true dress occasion to wear it at out here in the canyonlands - but its mine and I love it.

I don't much like the chain though. Both for looks and for potential fabric damage.

My question of the experts is, should I happen to encounter a true formal occasion somewhere would it be "wrong" to wear the dress sporran with a leather sporran strap rather than the chain?

Thanks

Ron
