I myself have never encountered, in nearly 40 years of kilt-wearing, a Scottish-made chain that wasn't smooth as glass on the underside, by design so as not to damage the kilt.

I've seen a number of Pakistani and Indian chains that had burrs on them.

Ditto the leather portion: Scottish-made ones are smooth on the underside (the vintage ones were stitched) while I've seen Indian and Pakistani straps that had rivets that had sharp edges exposed on the underside.
