I see that Sporran Chrome extension is no longer available in Chrome Web Store. Do you know anything about that; what is the reason behind it?

I've worn a kilt occasionally for a little over 20 years but my sporran has always caused a bit of discomfort. The chain always seems to get under my rather large belly and I need to adjust it frequently. Even when it doesn't I find that it bangs uncomfortably on my junk.
What do you guys do?
I'm considering dropping the sporran altogether for informal wear and maybe getting a belt pouch or something similar.
Thoughts?
This is probably one of those bagpipe topics that has several answers (like oiling and hemp type, etc) , but how do you care for your horsehair sporran?
Some people use a stocking to store them, some people use beard oil to prevent tangles/bad hair days, etcβ¦
Get us the fuck out of this union. Imagine if sturgeon had called a remembrance poppy "arts and crafts".
How can our culture have any representation is we can't even have a fully fledged scottish broadcaster?
Anyone else finding the sporran uncomfortable? I am looking for a way to store my phone/wallet and find the sporran I have uncomfortable. I seems to always be banging on my bits even with a walk. Also, It feels a little too formal for day to day wear.
Has anyone tried any alternatives?
I was thinking of one of the following
- A slim fanny pack to go underneath
- Sewing pockets to the inside of the kilt
- A kilt "side/belt pouch"
If anyone else has the same issue I would appreciate feedback!
I'm looking to buy a sporran (and other kilt accessories). I found this one package on Etsy (link) and really like it. But, the sporran that comes with it is a Full-Dress sporran. Would it be a disrespectful to the culture (or just a fashion mishap) to wear it casually? I'll only ever be wearing my kilt casually, so I want to make sure I won't be butchering the culture behind it.
Just looking for some thoughts on the matter.
Pretty much what it says on the label. I'm getting started in my journey into the wonderful world of non-bifurcated leg wear and I'm looking for a sporran option so I'm able to sharpen up my utility kilt look when necessary. There are a couple criteria that I'm hoping any suggestions will meet:
- No fur. This is the 21st century; fur isn't in vogue (and for good reason). Besides, utility kilts are kind of like a set of slacks or cargo shorts. Putting a dress sporran on it is like wearing a tuxedo t-shirt to a wedding without any sense of irony.
- Practical and functional. The pockets on the kilt will be removable and when I'm wearing it in a semi-formal context, I want to be able to carry my personal effects in an organized fashion.
- Durable attachment mechanism. No costume-grade chains for this. I want to be safe in the knowledge that it won't get ripped off my person without a fight, especially if it's got my effects in it.
If any of you guys in the the kilted krew can point me in the direction of a sporran or two that fits the bill, I would be very grateful.
