Bad idea to buy Accessories before kilt comes?

Black is more common, but it depends on the color of the shoes you are wearing. Match the leathers to the shoes. If you are wearing sneakers or such, then it doesn't matter.

Just try to avoid wearing black belt brown sporran and reddish-leather shoes!!! I'm sure hamish would fly over just to educate you personally on the evils of such a mis-match!

If you want matching tartan flashes it's best to order them with the kilt, especially if it's an unusual or hard to find tartan.

Many kiltmakers will include flashes in the same tartan for no cost. Some do this automatically, and others will do so IF you let them know at the time your order is placed.

If you're only going to have one set of leather for awhile go with black since it can be casual or formal. I only have black myself and have never really been a fan of brown.

I'd love to find the kiltmaker that will include a set of tartan flashes at no extra charge...
