Formal Sporran Chains

[O'Neille]

I've been wanting to make one for a while now. The problem has been finding a quality chain that won't tear up my kilts. If anyone finds a good source please let me know. O'Neille

I picked up a few feet of the black chain Stillwater sells a few weeks ago. It seems to be pretty good quality. The finish (maybe powered coated??) has proven to be very slick and fairly durable although I haven't gotten to wear it a lot yet. I am sure there is correct terminology for this but I don't know what it is so here goes: if you think of the link as an oval, the joint is on the end and the whole link is twisted so even if the joint is exposed, it is raised off the kilt material so as not to do any damage. I will try to capture it as a picture:




The only picture of me wearing the black chain is this one from the Celtic Classic. I am on the left. I didn't have time to cut the chain so it is actually doubled over on each side in this pic.



I like the chain quite a bit, but I have yet to find any black clips to match it.
