My sporran hangs on a small belt by itself.  My kilt belt holds my dirk and a tankard strap and wooden mug.

LOYALTY is not amongst them.

I travel light on the belt...

two kilt pins (used for skirt hikes)
a strap of leather with my mug tied on
sometimes a pouch of cloth tied on.

That's pretty much it.

I usually don't wear a belt. The one and only time I had a belt on, was with my pirate coat and I had nothing attached to it.

You guys carry around everything...! Do you use this stuff, or is it just props?

I cant speak for everyone here, but typically, most of the stuff carried on a belt during faire gets used.  for obvious reasons most weapons carried are only for show, but often even those will have some purpose other then just looking good with the outfit.

I know that of the stuff I carry at my local faire, I use everything on my belt, why carry the extra weight if I'm not going to need it?

Both of my pouches are used: one for money/business cards/cell phone/keys, etc.; the other for Kiss Cards and other guild cards.

My dagger is kept in sheath but is functional in daily life, it too is used, just not on site.

My mug I use constantly....rare that it is actually on my belt...LOL

The favors are obviously not used, but rather displayed...so those, and the tail, are strictly for show, but everything that I carry that could be functional...is functional.
