Dirt cheap Sporran hangers

**Chrissss** · 3rd February 08, 07:16 PM

I was wandering around the absolute best "Guy store" in Canada today, called Princess Auto, and came across leather belt strap key ring holders. Although not as nice as the Sporran holders available from vendors on this forum, you can't beat the price. They were 50 cents each! I didn't buy any but thought I'd pass it along.

For you unfortunates to not live in a Canadian city that has a Princess Auto store you don't know what you're missing. It started out 75 years ago as an auto wrecker, which then started carrying farming, workshop, and other industrial supplies. They gave up the wrecking business and now just carry an amazing array of "Guy Stuff". Setting a guy loose in Princess Auto is like dropping a woman off at a mall. You can wander around for an hour or two and still not see all the goodies...

did not see the key ring holders though.

I have purchased a similar set at a leather booth at a local county fair

The "Aker 561 Strap-Style Key Holder" looks pretty close as shown ..here..

Yes but for $8 each ($16), you might as well get a set from SWK or USAKilts for less.

I have a pair of kilt hangers that I don't use much. I find I prefer a sporran strap.

I agree, they just make the belt sag.

I don't use sporran hangers either - I was just trying to find the product. I don't like the way they look - for me.

Hi,

if you want sporran hangers like this:

you can make them by yourself. Just take 2 of those clips for cell phone straps with a wide and flat D-ring on it. Cut the ribbon off. Take 2 strips of good leather and press on each strip one press button in. Pull the clip throug the D-ring and you'll have a good sporran hanger which cost maybe a few cent for the leather (if you want to buy that).

Yes, the Aker 561's from that link are very similar.

Like many others I prefer the belt, but when I saw these I figured it would be good to post. Hey, for 50 cents each ya really can't complain, eh?
