What would look good with this tartan? A brown one or black one?

I'd say brown, but to be really different get a camo one.

For a dress one, go to bestofscotlandshop.com, it's e-bay, but they worked fastly, the product was good and the price was excellent,... they have a 100% of good reportings.
For a daywear use,... I'd go for a Freelander sporran,... it's also on my wishlist!
¡Salud!

Yeah, I'll look into both of those. Though I think I might go with something off of ebay...in spite of the other thread about ebay

Buchannan looks good with both in my opinion but I think brown would compliment it very well, especially if you have a brown belt and shoes to combine with it. You will get the best over all appearance if you match all of your leather to the same color.
One other note about sporrans...They usually come with chain belts. These look nice for dress occasions but may not look quite right for casual wear and they will increase the wear and tear on the kilt fabric. You would do well to find an old, narrow leather belt (1/2" to 1") to use instead.
Also, the Price on USA's web site includes freight. So sporrans from them are $50 delivered. The other option, which is the way I got my Brown BK is to watch Stillwaters auction site. I picked it up for $40 or $45 plus $8 shipping. Great deal!!!

Well, I have both brown and black boots...but I guess I'm more of a brown leather man. Do you mean get a small leather belt to hold up the sporran?

Yes. I'm wearing a leather strap on the sporran in my photo above. I also wrote a small thread about what I feel are nice features to look for in a strap from some of my experiments
