    Yes, the idea is to get something that matches my watch, so I would prefer to get a leather cantle rather than a brass one that didn’t match.

    In fact, it appears that thekiltstore.com carries a few day and evening sporrans with copper cantles.

    I suppose I should have specified that the bag would ideally be black leather. Black so I can wear it as evenlol by wear, and leather so I can wear it as day wear (although those are attractive sporrans.)
