Kilt Damage From Cheap Sporran Clip

Buying quality items will make a difference in the long run. It make take longer for you to buy a good leather sporran strap, but it will last forever with good care and maintenance.

Buying quality items does not necessarily mean that the item will not cause damage to your kilt. Even high end retailers like Gucci, LV, or Ferragamo have flaws. I've bought shoes and handbags from both retailers with flaws that have caused problems. Leather edges that have scraped my ankle, or a handbag clasp that has rough edges that catch on a scarf or coat. However, especially with Ferragamo, which puts out a much better product in my opinion, with good polishing, regular repairs, etc., those shoes and handbags will outlast me!

Why not try wearing your new straps or chains over an old woolen shirt for a few days while around the house? That way, you can look for any rough edges and find any flaws in the leather finish or metal clasps before you try them with your kilts and make any necessary repairs. Also, a good quality house like those listed above will do the repairs for you.

I picked up an Oconee strap a month or two ago - best sporran belt I've had in the last 20 years. Can't say enough good things about the customer service, either.

I don't think there's much to choose from (having purchased stuff from both) between Oconee and Mojo Leather. Each has some styles the other doesn't, but the leather quality, workmanship, and customer service are all absolutely top-notch with each of them. So it really comes down to "what you like the look of best" with a particular type of item.

The problem being that Steve at Oconne leather works is not accepting orders for the moment. He's put his leather working aside for the moment and hopefully he will come back to it one day. I have a belt and a sporran strap from him and they are of an outstanding quality. His customer service is second to none, also.
