Looks great. Very professional.
Just a thought: maybe reverse the chicago screws to eliminate any chance of the screwheads pilling the tartan?

Chicago screws are also known by SEVERAL other names. The best thing to do is a grap from this thread, print it, and TAKE IT to the store saying "I want THIS!"
Each store seems to have their OWN name for them and have NO IDEA of any other names.

Also, without SOMETHING to keep them from unscrewing during use. I've lost a few over the years. A releasable bolt/nut locking fluid works well. Heck, fingernail polish works OK too. DO NOT use Lock-Tite, it makes them into rivets!


I LOVE the sporran!!!!!!
The way you did the replacable flap is GREAT!!!

A drop of rubber cement works well.

Tandy leather stores / catalog carry Chicago screws in several sizes and finishes.

Actually Loctite comes in a few different strengths, blue which is the "removable" and red which is the "permanent". This being said either one can be easily removed with a bit of heat applied to the screw head (i.e. Soldering Iron)
