    The only place I have seen selling brown ghillies is Heritage of Scotland, a Gold Brothers store.
    Keltoi Gaelic Clothing has them too.

    I've been really interested in a pair of brown ghillie brogues, but I like a darker brown and every source I've seen only has them in the medium or light brown color.

    Your local shoe repair shop can dye them a darker brown for about $20.

    The brown ghillies I sell have just been redesigned somewhat. They now resemble the black light marching brogues in every detail save colour. The brown is actually darker than what is pictured, but is still probably considered a medium brown. It does, however, match exactly with most of the L&M brown sporrans and the kilt belts I sell. I'll have to put a new picture up this week.

    Hope this isn't a double-post. Not sure if I hit submit on the first one and it went to moderation, or if I closed the window without submitting.

    Alright, here's some pics.






    Both hopefully you can see what I'm talking about with my shoes, they weren't the focus of the pics, but I think you can get a good enough look at them.

    Also my outfits feature my crail jacket from the Scotland Kilt Co., my saffron heavyweight wool kilt from Stillwater Kilts (from that clearance sale a little while ago), and my amazing sporran from Wyvern Leatherworks.

    So, back to the original question. Should I get the long wrap-around laces to go with the shoes, or are they fine as-is?

    thanks

    Ren,
    Your first post was in the mod que awaiting approval, and since your second one had better (larger) pics, I deleted the first one.
