Thanks again.

Dave,

The issue with sporran chains is usually less about level of formality, and more about wear and tear on the kilt. Its been observed by some that chains abrade the wool over time (hence Panache's concerns about deburring) and thus many have gone to leather belts/straps for everyday wear, and save the chains for the less frequent dress-up occasions that call for an evening sporran.

Best regards,

Jake
