    hmmm... Im not sure. It matches my belt though
    I like the other 2 aswell.
    I'll probably make my final decision tonight - thanks for your help!

    By the way - is a sporran leather belt (rather than chain belt) necessary? I see them mainly worn by people on the forum for casual events but whenever I've seen anyone around the street or whatever with one it's always been a chain. Some of Tartan Army are guilty of wearing full dress sporrans with chain belts and WHITE HOSE with their football top and timberland boots.
    For some reason I think most of the people on here (other than Jimmy) are not members - otherwise they'd all be told!

    I like the chains, myself. I've never seen anybody wear those sporran straps in person. Some say chains chew up your kilt, but I think that more to do with people owning cheaper chains.

    Leather straps are very common--and popular--for daywear. Those chrome chain straps are rather harsh looking when worn with casual dress. If you look at many of the pics on this forum, you will note that many, many gentlemen prefer leather straps.

    And therein lies the real answer. Personal preference.

    Some gentlemen prefer metal straps, some gentlemen (me included) prefer leather straps.
