which colour of leather?

Black goes with EVERYTHING. In a previous thread, an exalted member mentioned that he thought brown was a little more casual. I say use what you've got or buy some gear in each colour. You can never have too many accessories!

Brown is not more casual but the style for day wear in the countryside. Brown leathers are suitable to day attire but not evening. Evening calls for black or white (buff leather or courlene) with shinny (silver) fitments. Coatee and vest are not worn with belts and brown belts are not worn, by convention, with evening Jackets or sporrans with metal cantles (even those with brown fur or horsehair).

What about day wear in town? Is black or brown leather conventionally worn?

Thanks

Personally, I wear brown during the day for casual wear and black for evening or with a tie, regardless of tartan. One can always wear black, though. Brown should be worn in casual situations only, in my opinion.
