    I appreciate the idea of a sporran that can be worn at different levels of dress—particularly if it will rarely be called on to do black tie formal. Unfortunately, the options are slim, and they often devolve into "neither fish nor fowl" territory.

    The most traditional option would a full mask, but that has already been ruled out, and I'm not a big fan anyway. Perhaps you need to look at a black leather sporran with a white metal cantle. Below are a few options.

    Hunting sporran with metal cantle (courtesy of L&M). A top choice for flexibility, but has become a little too popular with pipe bands, if that matters to you.


    Leather sporran with metal plate flap (courtesy of L&M). These are less common than the previous one, but also quite flexible.
