    I agree. That's all I use.

    Repeating two words for further emphasis:

    Sporran strap.

    I have a couple of homemade straps, and my Stillwater strap should be delivered today, but I still occasionally enjoy wearing a chain or hangers, and didn't want this to happen again. Also my son can't possibly wear enough chain on his body, so he has new and overhauled clips now.

    Just something I wanted to toss out there so this doesn't happen to somebody else.

    Right on, Bugbear. Mine do need a bit of polishing as they like to grab the straps. Something to do tonight.

    You may not care about such things, but a strap is much more sartorially "correct" for daywear than chain, apart from the practicalities. Using a chain when hiking is just "loud" and inappropriate. There is nothing to stop you wearing swimming trunks to the supermarket or a tuxedo to a rodeo, but few do.
    I believe the kilt should be worn with dignity and apprpriate accessories. There is a difference and a distinct line between expressing your individuality and shouting "I am an exhibitionist" ......
