Black leather sporran with black tie?

[Cowher]

I agree with Jock and say a leather sporran would work better without the plaid. Let me, however, qualify that a wee bit.

There are many different types of leather sporran and some are more versatile than others. I've pulled a few images from the L&M website to help make a suggestion, but these types of sporran are definitely available from various manufacturers and in differing price ranges. Would others agree with my thinking in terms of which black leather sporran?

A hunting sporran would be your best bet. Leather (not fur) and fairly versatile in terms of formality. The one with the metal cantle would be more formal than the one without.




I wouldn't opt for a very plain leather sporran in any of the following styles. While they are lovely, I just don't think they are dressy enough for the outfit you describe....

Add me to the list of agreement.

I got away for years wearing a rather cheap all leather 'hunting' style sporran I got off ebay with my formal wear, no one seemed to notice. There is not really a rule that one has to have a fuzzy sporran for dress.

And a couple years ago I traded up to this nice inexpensive fur number from Jerry at Stillwater; http://stores.channeladvisor.com/Sti...ress%20Sporran for much less than the 150 bucks you mention. I think they have white and black too.

I have that very one, and got it with versatility in mind -- in other words, either day or formal wear, as I have some friends who would take serious umbrage at my wearing my fur sporran (also a Ferguson Britt).
