Sporran Chains

[sydnie7]

Just like MacMillan of Rathdown, I have never seen any damage to a kilt due to a sporran chain. Of course the few chains I have are not re-purposed chains but chains intended for use with a sporran. The clips on my chains are all of the "lobster claw" variety, which have no sharp edges whatsoever. I just can't imagine how all of this damage occurs! I have kilts that are now well into their eighth decade and show absolutely no wear from a strap-- leather or chain.

I'll have to get pictures the next time I'm at my sister's place. One of her husband's kilts was damaged by a chain along the lines of this one. Please note I'm not saying it was this exact design/chain, just the concept of decorative elements with right-angle corners. I don't know if it was a corner or rough connectors, but I've seen the damage in person so it does happen, however rare the chances.

I believe I have seen some of this artists work in person and I can tell you its as smooth as a baby's bum! In fact I would venture to say that there would be MUCH less "wear and tear" than an average leather and buckle!

Yes Roger, I'm sure you have seen some of his work in person. ;)

Bren, the tartan in this kilt is Morrison Green Modern in 16oz Strome from Lochcarron of Scotland. The kilt is a 5-yd box-pleat by Matt Newsome...and I love wearing it. It is much lighter and cooler that my tank.

Very nice kilt. Matt does amazing work. I hope to own a kilt from him in the future. I like the maille concept. Very unique and bold.
