Black or brown?

There is an interesting question. As TheScot points out, many people wear black shoes all of the time with their kilts. I do not know if it is because I am anti-authoritarian, or a southerner, or just cantankerous, but I almost NEVER wear black shoes. Black leather screams urban motorcycle and the Po-Lice and Army to me. I have plenty of respect for people associated with those things- I even HAVE a black leather jacket, but I am much more of a semi-rural brown wearing guy. I will do anything I can to wear brown shoes with my navy and grey (saxon) suits and I think black shoes with khakis and jeans look ridonculous. I tell you all of this as a preamble to what might otherwise seem like a silly question:

Do you wear black shoes regularly?

If you don't, then by all means, look for a brown sporran, or at least a black and brown one. As TheScot points out, many people will wear a brown sporran even with black shoes. I think a black one with brown shoes may be pushing it, though. My only other comment is, if you buy an inexpensive one, try to make it one without a chrome cantle. To my eye, the shiny cantle looks dressy and formal and, well, wrong if you aren't dressed up.

Why not take a few hours off and instead of watching a movie, see if you can't sew your own simple sporran. Make it brown, but dye one part of it ( the flap?) black. You'll have something that you made and you'll save money to put into it. And it will match everything.
