The sporran is conventionally worn on the front of the kilt, suspended by light chains or narrow leather belts that fasten in the pit of the back - usually fed through the two belt loops of the kilt. It's important to get its position right - it should hang two or three inches below the belt buckle, too low - below the pubic bone as one sometimes sees it, looks comical and too close to the belt buckle is also to be avoided. Another method of hanging the sporran is a leather strip called a 'wang' introduced many years ago by veteran sporran maker Jim Kirkwood which has no metal parts and an ingenious fastening system.
