I prefer a sporran that is higher rather than lower for a couple of reasons. First is that it's a pocket on a strap, not a fig leaf. And second, it is neither a sling. I don't think it should hang any lower than the widest part of one's abdomen, if he's a gentleman of substance. When it does hang low, it either bounces against the privates, or draws the apron in around one's middle, which wrinkles the kilt and shows off your figure 9 body.

Regards,
Rex.
