Heavy duty sporran chains

[Squeaky McMurdo]

You know....I've always thought that a show collar would make a perfect sporran chain as they are attractive-looking and are designed to not make any marks on the dog's fur....so it would coincidentally be very kind to a wool kilt.

I believe the one I have for my Labs said it was chrome snake-chain

Mine's a chain leash that adorned the shoulder of my denim jacket in college. I'm not sure they make them like that anymore.

If you can find chain with the links welded it will be a bit kinder to the kilt. The sharp edges of the un-welded chain can shred the wool very quickly.

Ah...that reminds me...was gonna post this the other day and forgot.

If you can find a machine shop with a deburring bowl, they may be willing to run your chain for a couple bucks or a six pack. It's just a large bowl, filled with randomly shaped (or sometimes specifically shaped) chips of material (ceramic, maybe walnut, who knows what they might be using), set to vibrate...throw in the part, and it'll come out without sharp edges. Dunno how it'd work on chain, but should be the same as anything else. Keep in mind this will almost certainly remove any coating on the chain.

Another potential option would be a large chain from a jewelry store...but it won't be cheap, either...could be killer for dressing up, tho.

Found that Stillwater Kilts has black and brass sporran chains:

I have a friend who does excellent chain maile work--that might do for 'heavy duty' chain. Maybe look on line for chain maile workers?????
