Big guys in kilts.

[RockyR]

One problem I often have in a kilt is because I'm wearing the kilt at my navel (I personally think kilts worn below the navel don't look quite right, no offense intended, just one bloke's opinion) my sporran often sort of gets hung up under my belly and causing some serious bunching between my belt and my sporran. The only thing I can do is keep my sporran chain so tight to keep it higher but that constricts the hanging effect at the top of the kilt. I wish I had a better option or could find some way to make this stop happening at least until I can get rid of this blasted beer gut I've developed.

Thanks cacunn, I was just going to point those out.

whether you get them from us or someone else, these are PERFECT for solving that problem.



The only NEW problem you'll have is if you keep a lot of heavy stuff in your sporran, your belt wants to slip down a bit, so you have to have it on tight.

I'm not trying to make a sale (or sound like a salesman), just trying to help big guys with the "front apron bunching" problem. Our AVERAGE customer is about a 44" waist (about 250 at 6') and we see this problem ALL the time.

This is one of the things that has impressed me the most about this forum. There are a lot of vendors of various kilt related product here, they ALL are willing to help the new guy (gal) and the old (read as more experienced) if they have a question. If they have something that helps they mention it, if they know of someone else that has it they mention it. The desire is to help. They realize that the more often kilts are seen the larger the market and they are a great group.

Thanks Rocky & Cacunn for the tip. I've seen those before and thought they were a bit goofy, well not really, just not quite as snazzy as the typical chain or strap but something has got to give and until I can lose the belly maybe this will do now that I think about it. Anything to be able to stop the constantly fiddling with my sporran chain all day to keep it where it should be.

I don't care whether Rocky is makes a sale or not. But he's right. They make all the difference, so listen to him. Hell, buy the things from him tonight because you'll love them, and he's a nice guy. I'd buy a pair myself if I didn't already own some. There's nothing grosser than that big pouch caused by the sporran chain on a portly gentleman like myself.

Thanks for all you do here, Rock.

Are these suitable for an ordinary sporran or do you need a special one ? Do they snap onto the 'D' rings on the wee leather strap that passes through the loop on the back of the sporran ? In the picture the ends of the straps seem too wide apart for this to be the case. I have a 'Craigie' sporran sling which seems the same but has a chain which passes through the loop on the back of the sporran and replaces the leather strap. However the sporran does hang a bit low (unless I slide the straps wider apart along the belt) and also a bit lop sided (that wee leather strap on the back keeps the sporran level)and your arrangement could be better for me.

Actually, my belts will go all the way up to 80" if need be (maybe further but I've not done tests out that far ). I just need to add a bit to the cost for the extra leather on sizes over 50". The largest I've done so far is 60" and that even allowed for about 7 " of adjustment .


Freddie, they will work on any sporran with d-ring capability. If a sporran doesn't have ad-rings there is a product like this to slip into the pocket on the back of the sporran to accommodate the hangers.

Thank you. I just had the information on your website to go by and didn't know. By the way can you do that in a tradional kilt belt design?

[cavscout]

I sure can. The traditional belt I show a few posts up is one of mine.
