Leather sporran strap etiquette

[oldscubaguy]

I don't think anyone has ever really considered the position of the buckle.

One just buckles the strap while getting dressed, and goes on with one's day.

For me, perhaps because I'm righthanded, the buckle ends up being on my right side.

As with lacing Ghillie brogues, it's fitting to keep in mind that Highland Dress is clothing, not costume.

It's not all that often that the buckle can be seen, one such is in The Highlanders of Scotland (1860s) with the gent on the right.

Likewise, I wear the buckle on the right side so it can be reached for convenience. And I also treat it as everyday clothing since I have taken to wearing a kilt as daily wear.

Cheers
