Sporran Selection Advice...

[Dileasgubas]

Just for the record, most, if not all Highland military undress uniforms feature a simple brown leather sporran, paired with black or sometimes brown brogued shoes. There has never really been a requirement to “match.” Most military folks also wear simple lovat green or a plain muted hose. My sporran is probably 50years old and except for some wear near the stud closure, it is still quite serviceable. In my mind, that works for most occasions and would certainly not be considered “wrong” except for the formal occasions.

In the end, whether you choose black or brown (or both), new or used, I would recommend a leather sporran as a first purchase. And as for matching, I like to see matching straps/belts rather than shoes.
