I just returned from Scotland and got some surprised observers on my sporran hangers. All of them really liked the idea and some asked where they could get them. Since I was knocking around town casually (Edinburgh) or hiking in the countryside, a belt and hangers were the ticket. A couple of men sitting outside a pub stopped me as I walked through the Grassmarket and asked specifically about my sporran hangers and both agreed that they thought it superior to the chain or strap. One even identified my tartan as Ramsay Red (as opposed to the more common blue), so I guess he knows his kilts.

Not being a man of particular size, I find the suspender system more comfortable overall. And WAY easier to handle when nature calls. I still use a strap when I am dressing up.
