Sporron positioning question?

[O'Callaghan]

Cheryl, there is a lot more to sporran positioning than looks.

Function (what is the sporran supposed to do), how much it has to move around (drummers have then on their hips) and finally anatomy (boys and girls are different).

Final height is up to you. You have to be able to use it and it mustn't get in your way when you are working.

I would recommend a strap rather than a chain. The sporran will slide on a strap, whereas the sporran and straps have to move together. Loops will always show (no matter how well they are made), so you might as well have a pair made from a solid colour or even leather.

As far as I am concerned, your outfit looks OK as it is.

Regards

Chas

I wear my sporran as high as I can get it to stay, but that is because I don't like it to be able to swing and hit me in the male anatomy! Nonetheless, that isn't all that high, because there is only so high it will go when using a chain belt, which naturally hangs down. Higher than in your pic, though. This may be what Chas is alluding to? Obviously not a problem for you. Why there are men who like to wear it lower is not a puzzle that I am particularly anxious to solve. As long as they don't tell me where to wear mine I am happy.

If you feel you need to wear yours higher to get it to stay up, then by all means do so. With a chain belt one normally adjusts the belt part of it at the buckle. I don't find I have a particular problem when wearing kilts that have no belt loops. As for having a buckle only on one side, I think I would feel tempted to add a dummy buckle that always stays done up on the other side, if only to get the sporran to hang evenly.

ETA: It looks even in you pic, though. I don't think anyone would notice that there is only one buckle.
