    Daneel,

    Place a tiny blob of 'Bluetac' behind each tassel which is then pressed firmly against the sporran front. That will hold them in place and put a stop to the noise. The 'Bluetac' can be simply rubbed off any surfaces, leaving no marks, when you want the tassels to swing again!

    But for all these great powers, he's wishful, like me
    To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea.

    Brilliant, Hamish! *I* was going to suggest hot glue, or a simple stitch...But your idea is far more elegant!

    I wear about 3 pounds (maybe that's an exaggeration) of keys and other paraphanalia hanging from the key hook on my Utilikilt. The jingling sound helps my wife find me in a crowd if I wander off.

    I don't think sporran tassles would be noisy enough.
