A sporran can easily be worn a little too high to cut down on thumping and banging about, and if it's on a strap, most sporrans can easily be slid to one hip for comfort & for slow dancing with your favourite girl.

That's what I prefer to do. And it works with a strap.

This is a must....you always move your sporran to the side when dancing with a lady.

Tobus, no, with the chain my sporrans hang nearly vertical but with the belt they push in at the bottom quite a bit more. On my sporrans at least, the D rings for the chain are slightly higher on the sporran than is the opening through which I would put the belt. This is what seems to make the difference in how they hang as well as the fact that the belt is not perfectly vertical when put through the sporran but tends to sag a little.
I have rewritten this several times for the sake of clarity. I hope I am making myself clear.

The only thing I would say is when it comes to sporrans, by the best you can possably get. Take some time and save up for it, but don't just buy one to "get buy". If I were only to have one sporran for all occasions I would get a black soft body hunting sporran, or a pirced brass cantle with a dark brown body from Artificer. Either would look fine for dress or day wear and would also stand out as a cut above the rest. BUT they are not cheap, well worth the price, but not cheap at all. Your sporran is a focal point of your outfit and a good place to spend the better part of your budget. No one asks about your socks or your flashes, hardly ever about your sigan dubh. But people often ask about your sporran, even other kilties.
