I agree with McMurdo. On Stillwater's website, they show the Black Watch worn with brown leathers, and it looks fine. In other places, however, black looks good.

In times like this, I stick to the oldest and truest of kilt wearing traditions - brown for day, black for night. (Ok, it's probably not the oldest and truest of kilt wearing traditions, but I've been on a Pirates of the Caribbean kick, so bear with me. )
