    Which Sporran?

    I am heading to a lunch meeting and wearing the following:
    Black Watch Kilt
    Green Hose
    White Shirt
    Black Watch Tie
    Belt
    Ghillie Brogues
    Black Argyll Jacket

    My question is I have 2 sporrans, a plain black one and a white rabbit hair w/chrome cantle. Which one, given my outfit and time of day, would be most appropriate?

    The plain black one would be most suitable for daywear. Sounds like the rabbit fur with chrome cantle is a much more of a dress sporran and would be more suitable for evening wear to a formal event. Although as with most things its up to you, as there are no formal rules just convention and tradition.

    Aye, black sporran, but hey - lose the belt...kilt straps work fine.

    Just me, but wearing a belt with kilt straps is like wearing a belt and suspenders.

    Wearing just the kilt straps makes a man look more confident too.

    Yup, for a lunch meeting definitely the plain black leather one. The fur and chrome cantle sporran would be more appropriate for evening wear.

    Black leather sporran for daytime meeting. I would choose another neck tie, too. Tartan ties with the kilt are usually not the best choice.
