    Oh! My turn! How'd I do?

    I just grabbed this waistcoat and jacket off eBay for a low low price. What do the auld traditionalist chaps think? I know off the bat my shoes need a shine.
    What do you think about the black leather shoes and the dark chocolate brown sporran and sporran strap?

    Let me have it!

    Dude, that looks really spiffy!

    But I hate to point out that sporran isn't chocolate brown.

    Re: Oh! My turn! How'd I do?

    I think it looks pretty good, the sporran and shoes being different colours do not bother me at all. If I were to suggest anything it would be to smile a bit. Well done

    Very Sharp! Dark color shoes - dark color sporran, they look fine together.

    Re: Oh! My turn! How'd I do?

    I wear black shoes with brown sporran leather regularly.

    Brown shoes with black leather sporran, not so much I think. I am sure someone like Panache or McMurdo could carry it off with aplomb in the right circumstances, but it doesn't feel right to me.
