My standard sporran for all but formal events is an oxblood with tooled flap by Donnie at Wyvern Leatherworks.

McRostie of Glasgow would be worth a thought.

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.

RKilts (see the link at the top of this page) advertises on their website oxblood as one of their sporran colours.

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.

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?

Good question. I would put them firmly in the brown camp (i.e. not as formal as black) but I do have a great fondness for brown leather generally (and oxblood in particular) and so I, personally, bend the rules wherever I think I can get away with it and don a pair of oxbloods.

I'm lucky enough to have a pair of Barker Brogues with a black body but with the toe-caps, the leather at the laces, and the leather at the heels in oxbood which are just divine and further blur the boundaries.
