My flashes are the same as my kilt.. I would think a pair of red, green or blue would work well. I'm not to sure about yellow. Oatmeal hose go with anything! They dressup quite well too! Just remember that no matter what you wear, wear it with pride! I would second Big Paul's advice. Intially purchasing your belt, and sporran in black you have a better chance of it going well with any tartan or solid color kilt. You can always add brown later if you wish. I would also make your first sporran one for everyday wear rather than a dress or semi-dress sporran. Darrell

If you're worried because you only have brown shoes, don't be.I often break the rules, and the only people who know any better are here at this forum. If you feel the need to miss match leather just accessorize with other articles of clothing that match your shoes. For example; If you must wear brown shoes with a black sporran, match the shoes with brown flashes, and either a brown sweater, vest, or coat. Of course, if you read on you'll see that most don't agree with me. No, black's good. Unless I made a typo, I should have said that I have black shoes, not brown ones. Newkilt: I'll keep the sporran advice in mind, thanks. Nice that it'll keep the price down too...
Hey Big Paul, what tartan is that you are wearing? I really like it.
