Before Christmas I had been using a sporran chain for a couple of years and it seemed to work fine. There was a little wear on some of my kilts but otherwise it was great. Then I got a leather strap from my wife and have been using it since and I have to say that I like it way more. In my opinion it is more comfortable and looks/works better on a daily basis. From now on I'll be saving my chain for dress/impress situations.
But as with all things on here (and in life), there are a hundred different ways of doing things and none are more right than others. What it comes down to is what do YOU want to do? But most of all, enjoy it!
I just picked up some leather, dye, glossing stuff, (make the leather look nice) and some buckles with associated hardware yesterday. I am no leather worker but I believe I can pull off making a simple belt and sporran strap. I am also going to try some of the small belt straps if there is enough leather left.
I believe I am under the $80 mark for all the items listed above. I figure I would have spent well over $130 for such items even from our fine sponsors.
As soon as i can finish I will attempt to post some pics.
