    I know someone here uses a sporran hanger that's a single strap. Well, maybe not "here" but on Matt Newsome's site: http://kilts.albanach.org/Hpim0734.jpg

    That ought to be easier to slide around than a double strap sporran hanger, albeit somewhat unusual looking, right?

    Aye and there's an ossifer for you! If it looks silly, and it works, why then it ain't silly, is it?

    I'm kind of on the odd side myself, and I'm not sure if I like the looks of it, but I keep on thinking, "It sure beats wearing two belts."

    Only in so much as you either can't have your buckle in the centre (I'm big on buckles) or you can't have our sporran the centre, The Twin suspenders are ok but probably not for me.

    It does look a little weird but honestly the purpse would be functionality and practibility. If it does the job, then that's what matters in my opinion. I wouldn't wear it because it just looks a little weird, but all power to him.

    I have to add my support for Cavscout's sporran hangers. I bought a set not long ago and love them. (and at 38" I'm not all that corpulent). Also since I don't put my belts through the loops (if a particular kilt happens to have them) it's not really too hard to slide the sporran around either.

    It's the same method used by this famous lad


    When is a sporran a belt pouch? can they be both? Who invented liquid soap and why?

    I just recieved a set of sporran hangers from USA Kilts along with a Kidder sporran which I will proudly wear with my Matt Newsome box pleat (see jonesing) Like Matt said earlier, they (hangers) so justice to "larger" men, which BTW I am. The hangers and sporran are first rate, I like them alot.

    I haven't tried hangers yet but they look good so am planing to acquire some.

    Sometime once I am seated in the car the sporran hasn't gone under the steering wheel properly but it's easy to get it underneath and it doesn't brush against the wheel or affect the steering.
