But the large loops! I was taught they are for the belt, not the sporran and that the sporran chain or strap is NEVER threaded through them! That's what we do here! Is there a concensus on this suddenly vital issue? Where does one go for the last word???
Actually, the concensus is the opposite from your understanding. The rear loops are for the sporran strap, not the belt...or so I've learned on this forum. Some use them for both, some for just the sporran strap/chain, and some prefer no loops at all.

Has the OP logged back in yet to explain exactly which loops he was referring too? Lots of great discussion here about both the back loops and the hanging loops...I think we've answered his question either way.
