The only safe way is to hold the thing in your hands and decide for yourself.

YOW! £75 is not to be sneezed at for a sporran strap! Sorry to hear about your 'belt malfunction' Chas.


This is the reason I bevel and slick ALL edges on both waist and sporran belts.

Beveling removes the 'square' corner from the strap. Slicking rounds the beveled edge into a smooth half-circle. Then I burnish the backs and edges with wax for a smooth finish.
