Wearing a Sporran

[Carolina Kiltman]

The belt loops on the back of the kilt are too wide to be just for the sporran belt. I put my kilt belt through those and let my sporran belt ride on my hips. Welcome to the boards, Shardz!

I second (or third, or however) the welcome. Leather punches with various size holes can be had from craft stores such as Michales, Hobby Lobby, etc. They are handy for lots of stuff! I actually wound up shortening my leather strap! (ordered one for a 40" waist, mine is 37-38), and even in the smallest setting it is still way too long (and I'm 6'5"). I also bought a pkg of two part hollow rivits, and just cut off the too long parts and re-riveted them. I like the post about being able to reach it comfortably and keeping the kilt down in a stiff breeze. Sounds like good guidelines to me

As of now, I've tried it with the sporran and belt in the loops, just the sporran, and just the belt. It's pretty, uh, relaxing to wear the belt without the loops, but I do find it moves a bit sometimes. Not too often though, so it's not really a problem.

I find that even with the sporran belt through the loops I can move it to the side when the occasion calls for it. When it's not through the loops the chains get a bit weird (it's kinda hard to describe), so I always put the sporran through the loop. Since it's easier not to put the belt through, I imagine most 'casual' situations I'm not going to, but more 'intense' situations (concerts, maybe something formal, and if anyone ever pays me to play frisbee in a kilt).

Thanks for all the advice! It's good to know I've got some freedom in deciding how to wear it (I mean, I can always wear it how I want, but now I can wear it how I want and not look like an idiot to someone else in a kilt).
