    I wear my sporran from my dirk belt with a single three inch strap similar to the way Liam Neeson wore one in the film "Rob Roy".

    This sporran was made by Donnie at Wyvern and I could not be more pleased. However, if you are a waistcoat afficionado this won't work.

    P.S. Also note that the sporran and dirk belt were both made to function together in this way. A standard dirk belt and sporran will not work unless modified.

    I cant'agree with your statement Rondo that a standard dirk belt and sporran will not work unless modified. Of course the sporran has to have a hodder strap, but I have a number of kilt/dirk belts with buckles (non plate types) where the hodder strap fits nicely over the buckle. The buckles also have a flat enough profile to be worn under waistcoasts. Below are a couple of pics of sporrans that have been modified from their original incarnations
    First is Figheadair's which has a MoD brass cantle. There is a photo, somewhwere on the forum, with him wearing it with a waistcoat.XMTS Figheadair's sporran.JPG

    The second is a Cragie Original where I added a hodder strap

    I do like your belt very much.

    DownUnder,
    I was mainly speaking of the belts one sees with a standard style waist plate that nearly every online vendor sells. None of my 3 dirk belts is that style as i feel they look too uniform. Nothing worse than showing up at an event and seeing three other fellows wearing the same kilt, sporran, cap etc. If you get my meaning.

    Farmer Jones,
    Thanks, I had it made locally along with 2 others that are less fancy. If I remember correctly it was under $80 US including the buckle[s].

    Absolutely understand where you are coming from Rondo. Although I always wear a belt with the kilt ( not usually when wearing a waistcoat unless wearing pictured sporrans) I never wear a plate style buckle. BTW very much like your set up. Cheers
