    Sporran Question!!

    Hi, folks! You know that little short leather strap which goes through the loop on the back of your Sporran, has the D-rings on either end? Yeah, the one your Sporran Belt hooks to! Well....Somewhere, under some catchy name, someone sells them in a 3-pack. For us guys like me who lose the darned things! I can't remember where I saw them for sale, but I know it's within the past year or so. Can someone help me?

    Thanks!!

    Re: Sporran Question!!

    I found one place calls them "the dee" but I haven't seen them sold in a three pack.

    http://www.chbagpiping.com/sporran_accessories.htm

    http://www.britishshop.com/item.php?item_id=1770

    also has them.

    Hope you find the one's you're looking for.

    Re: Sporran Question!!

    In an emergency you could use something like "para cord". Or even hairy sisal binder twine. I know one member used an old fashioned nappy pin for years

    Or off to the nearest charity shop and buy a 1" belt.

    as long as you're not on the last button hole and have room to adjust, you can just hook the two hooks together

    The problem with dees is that, whether plastic with nylon or metal with leather, they eventually end up like this:



    A loop of parachute cord has proven to be just as effective.
