    I'll try the soft sporran. There's a Michael's in town that sells squares of leather from Tandy, hopefully they aren't to expensive.

    wearing a sporran

    I've posted about this problem as well. The trouble is that with us big guys the sporran chain/strap can't sit on the hips and so drops, pulling the loose material underneath with it. I recently bought a thing from America called 'The Craigie Sporran Sling' which snaps over the belt at the front and lets the sporran hang on it's chain without interfering with the kilt underneath. You can slide the loops back and forth to raise or lower the hight of the sporran and it works really well. I've also found that the traditional sporran chain sits better when looped over the kilt buckles, especially on a heavyweight kilt. As for the correct hight to wear the sporran even the experts can't agree on that one. One source said that it should cover the genitals while another says that it should sit on the bellybutton. We're all differant shapes and sizes so I guess you just wear your sporran at the hight that suits you best.
