WW1 World War One Canadian Day Sporran

[Digger1]

Seems that I am oft times coming late to the dance these days. I attribute that to advancing age, and lessening time to spend reading posts on websites, I guess.

That said, I may have something of value to add to the general discussion regarding the manners in which we choose to suspend our sporrans.. I personally have all but abandoned the "Cheyne" for anything but the most formal of occasions and have opted for the leather belt. I admit to a prejudice in this arena though, as that was what I was first introduced to over sixty years ago...and still find it the best, most comfortable, and least damaging to the fabrics of my kilts.

So...for those looking for an excellently made "belt" from which to hang your sporran, take a gander at the American Civil War era reproduction canteen "slings" (in Black, Russett, and Natural colours for USD $20.00 + shipping) at Dell's Leather Works: www.dellsleatherworks.com

They come in widths ranging from 5/8" to 1.25" by about 60+" in length....so, the ability to trim to size and make new holes for the buckle are needed, but a good leather punch is easily obtainable. I have used these for years and they only get better with age! Take on a marvelous sheen with age and light buffing up. Hope this is helpful.
