Quality Sporrans for less money

[Troglodyte]

I won the bid on this piece, especially liked the chain and hooks, may replace the leather strap. Any recommendations on how to do that?

Well done..!

Replacing the leathers on the chain-strap is an easy business.

The trickiest thing is to find suitable leather, but suppliers like Tandy in the USA are a good sourse. They will also have the necessary punches, needes and thread for stitching in case you want to replicate the strap as it is, and saddle-stitch the parts, or they will have the rivets if you want the easier option.

Taking the strap to the shop for them to see the job in hand would be useful, and the sporran itself, too, as you may be lucky and get a near match for the brown leather.

Either way, I would recommend paring (skiving) the ends of the straps to virtually nothing, and glueing down the turned ends before stitching or riveting. The finish is much neater and feels more refined.
