| | | balck and brown freelander sporran, black belt and brown shoes?
I'm ordering a freelander in the next day or so, and want the opinion of the forums if a black and brown two-tone freelander would enable the wearing of dark brown boots and a black belt? I'd rather not offend Hamish with mismatched leathers!!!

I think, under the circumstances, that I'd best reserve my judgement until I see the full effect in a photo! Don't you?

considering the boots I am looking at ( too hard to find a quality hiking boot in black), this is the boot I am comparing too. http://www.asolo.com/content.asp?L=3&idMen=326
it is a chestnut color. Hopefully will match up nicely with the dark brown and black freelander.

Maybe its just the pic, but that looks pretty black to me. I think the value of the black/chestnut sporran is to let you wear either brown or black leathers, but not necessarily mix them.

But as Kilted KT points out, some types of shoe are difficult to get in certain colours. I reckon if I came home wearing polished black brogues, and then slipped on brown walking boots for an evening stroll, I wouldn't dream of going to the trouble of changing belts too.
Do have a look at those dark brown tool belts though: 3" wide, lovely supple thick saddle leather, and usually cheaper than even a cheap kilt belt. I prefer it to my el cheapo 'piper's belt'.
Looking forward to your pics!

I love my two tone Freelander and will post pics of it going with both brown and black. I think that Belt and Shoes MUST match always. But that sporran belt can differ with the right accessories.
Cheers
