Go steady! The sporran choice is yet another trans Atlantic obsession and it is easy to go over the top with ones choices. Yes I know and before anyone else says it, I am admittedly very conservative with my sporran opinions! For daywear a plain brown or black sporran will do everything that you require although a modest brass cantle on the sporran is perfectly normal too for some. Or perhaps, a plain fur(with mask) sporran is historically correct although not a common choice these days. Avoid at all costs if I were you, the cheap chain sporran straps and those dreadful "semi-dress" sporrans that are seen so often in wedding photographs on the internet these days. As a basic guideline for kilt daywear in particular, is the "less is more" approach is often the most effective.
Still too much sun for fishing!
