					I only wear a chain for formal evening wear. I made this one for really high formal and I use a rather plain belt for all other times.

					One I've not seen done before, which I intend to try myself, is to make a maille box chain out of silver wire, should look rather good.

					Here's the sporran belt I made from a small womans belt found at Walmart for $7 and a few extra parts.  I like it cause it's reversable.Black inlay side
 
  
 All metal side.
 
  
 Otherwise I just use a nylon strap with a ladder lock buckle on one end.  It's a backpacker's tie down strap.

					My favorite is still just a plain leather strap, either black or brown to match the sporran.  That's about all I wear, formal or casual.  Why mess with simplicity?

					Once I get into some money (and other formal attire) I want to get a big fancy chain like James' or OFCJAX, and mount it to some black felt to stop it from wearing on the kilt.

	Putting a black velvet backing on a formal evening sporran chain has a lot of attraction for me too.  Sounds like a cool idea!
