Sporran Strap/Chain Buckle Location

I suppose that if I think about it, I would have the buckle end counter-clockwise from the strap end, as I also do with my belt. In reality though, I don't usually think about it and it is oriented in whatever direction I picked it up, as witnessed here. So far, it has not ruptured the space/time continuum either way - so I'd do whatever seems logical to you.

Wait, it looks like you have it over your shoulder. And, you could use a haircut!

I had a sporran strap that had the buckle in the middle of the back as I see in the picture above. My car had fake leather seats. I noticed after a couple of months the back of the seat was getting damaged by the metal buckle. I replaced the strap with one that had the buckle on the side to prevent further damage.

That would also mean that I have shrunken down to about 5'5" tall! They say you shrink as you get old, but who would have thought it would be so dramatic?

I can see where some buckles might scratch up a leather seat, but I've never been comfortable driving while wearing a sporran, so I don't have that problem. I also have a couple straps which are one piece, without any buckles or adjustment. One advantage of doing your own leatherwork.
