Donnie Hailey of Wyvern Leatherworks makes sporrans from oxblood leather. He is one of the forum advertisers and a lovely man to deal with.
Both Scott (Artificer) and Donnie (Wyvern) are master craftsman and would make you a sporran to last a lifetime .
Links to birth of their websites are at the bottom of this page.

I was thinking that. Go to this site: https://www.said.net/secure/mcrostie/index-shop.asp
On the right side they have a place to choose a color. There is an i to the right of the choice tab. Click that. I think that Dark Havana (the one I chose) is a good match for oxblood.

You have to love so many options for what I, naively, assumed was a hard to find object. Kudos to all those who answered. I am lusting after the brass can't,e one from Artificer. I had better be extra good to my wife!

Wardog , here is another option for you . It's a more simple day wear sporran ( although very nice ) and it is in the color family of your oxblood shoes . It could probably also be used as semi-formal . Just food for thought .... happy sporran hunting !

One of the sporrans that Robert has made for me is half oxblood and half black and my favorite.
I'm just trying to be the person my dog thinks I am.

The original question was about oxblood shoes... so while we're at it, where do you folks think they fall on the formality scale between black and brown?

I know from experience that making a sporran is a labour of love, but isn't that taking it a bit too far?
