Getting a new sporran- need color advice.

[Bugbear]

Oh dear... Nighthawk has shoes with Frankenstein monster soles. You might also look through the Celtic Croft econemy sporrans if the money is tight, Nighthawk. I have their cromed cantle dress sporran. It wouldn't be for black tie, but you know...

Yes I do. They're great on snow and ice.

NightHawk,

Looking at your photo the thing that draws my attention more than anything else is your thick rubber soled shoes. To me they just don't work with a formal jacket and waistcoat.

Just my two cents

Had to bring that up, didn't you? Actually, the truth is that I had ordered a pair of ghillies from USAK back in January. They were stuck in customs for 2 months (don't bring it up to Rocky- he wrote a rather lengthy rant of an email to me about it.) They actually arrived at my house the day of the wedding- I was in Arizona and they were on my porch in Denver. I had spent my money on two plane tickets and simply didn't have anything left for shoes. It was a sore spot for me... and still is.

On the other hand, thank you for the rest of your advice. It is good. I am coming to agree with you on the garishness of the Saltire sporran, the more I turn it over in my head.

I now have good shoes.

Very good then Sir, carry on

Thanks! I know a lot of people here don't like ghillies, but I love them, myself- and Scotweb Store's tutorial on how to tie them for guys with big legs- which I am being a 300 pound hiker and martial artist- was most helpful.
