    Looks just fine to me. You could have it a liiiiitle lower, but it's personal preference.
    The rule of thumb tends to be that the sporran should be a hand's breadth below the belt buckle, but that changes depending on how tall you are!

    I usually wear my sporran right there. Sometimes I swing it round to the drummer's position and sometimes I even wear it over one thigh which I call the rogue's position.

    I used to wear my sporran just like you are. Now, with my loss of weight, I tend to wear it lower.


    Best,

    I think that spot is just fine, if that's where you like it. You colud go a little lower if you wanted, but that'd just be up to what you prefer. It's much better worn quite high than too low.

    Me too.

    Also, I agree that garter ties, wether bought or hand knit, are vastly superior to elastic garters.

    As many have said, sporran height looks fine.

    Good to see another 'trooper here!

    Friend of mine in the Scots Guards told me that they were instructed to wear it low enough so as to cover their bits in case of un-gentlemanly attack....
