Speaking from experience.....Steve at Oconee makes a very nice solid leather sporran strap!

I woke up this morning thinking that I should replace the chains on the sporran straps for my brown sporran with braided leather cord. I could makethat myself... Almost like leather chains...

Giraffe,

I know that this is a distance from your stomping grounds, but Thistle & Shamrock at Ulster & Bellview at Marina Square in the DTC have all sorts of sporrans with leather and chain on display and for sale. Frank & Cheryl are very helpful and quite informative. I find them a source of information that I cannot phathom. It is a cool store and yes every so often I see Frank wearing the kilt.

Slightly out of your stomping grounds or not, Thistle & Shamrock is more than worth the drive!

Rkilts makes something similar to this.

And don't forget that cheap, rough chains can be replaced with a leash or choke collar chain from a good pet store. The links are usually welded shut and the rough edges ground down before they are chromed, so they are no more damaging (possibly less) than a leather strap would be.
