No way would I wear the sporran strap through the loops or under the belt. I tend to slide the sporran to the side for driving and other things and that would make it difficult if not impossible. Practicality first.
I'm definitely with Barb and Matt on this one. No loops are needed for a sporran. As a general rule I don't put loops on kilts I make for myself, nor do I need to have a third buckle if the fabric is heavy enough. When I look over the history of kilts, I don’t see belts being very common at all. While I’ve not adopted Matt’s solution to the hole in the kilt, I have reinforced the button hole with light leather and sewn it done.
I retro-fitted one of my kilts with the belt that goes all the way around the back and only attaches to the buckle on the upper apron. I did put loops on for that one, but I'm still debating if I should continue with that practice. Any comments or experience will be appreciated.
Sporran strap through the loops? Two or three beers and a trip to the "men's room" should answer that question for you. :rolleyes:
What doesn't work for some, works for others. I enjoy a lot of Guinness kilted, and have never had problems sliding or lifting sporran aside when strap run through loops...
I guess it is all about trial and error (hopefully not in the men's room ), and finding out one's own preferences.
