    I did a quick mock up of a PC coat and celtic knot black buzz kidder sporran (no tassels, no medallion...) and it did look like something was missing.

    I think a black leather sporran will look fine in lieu of a fur sporran but you may want to consider putting a nickel badge on the flap or even a quick modification to apply horse hair tassels to the sporran. Here's a pic of the tassels I put on my Buzz Kidder Rob Roy

    The tassels were $9 + $3 shipping. 3 quick hole punches and you are set.

    Another option is the company I bought my dress sporran from on ebay. Seller name was Paramount International I think. The catch is that it took about a month to get it but for on $30 I was pleased with the sporran.

    Some good ideas, thanks!

    Luckily I do have a black Braemar jacket with black buttons. The plain black sporran looks fine with that (and to be honest, will almost certainly be dressed up enough for anything I'd be attending). My vanity just got the better of me with the Prince Charlie

    In cavscout's 'superman suit' photo the cantle on the dress sporran seems to balance out the mass of buttons on the PC, it works well.

    I just responded to another post on a smilar subject. I have a plain black Country Sporran (the only one I have) with the pewter fob. I have worn it with my black Argyle Jacket and black tie. I don't know whether it is "correct" or not, but I've never had the tartan police after me because of it. The Country Sporran seems to be quite popular with our group, Has anyone else worn theirs with black tie?

    I wouldn't do it, Moose. You can pick up an inexpensive dress sporran on Ebay.

    I think you need a sporran with a metal cantle to go with a PC. How about something like this:
    http://www.sportkilt.com/departments...ss-sporran.cfm

    It is made of black leather and has a metal cantle. It is more conservative looking than a standard dress sporran with a fur pouch. This type of sporran is also sold on E-Bay.
