balck and brown freelander sporran, black belt and brown shoes?

[Moose McLennan]

I'm ordering a freelander in the next day or so, and want the opinion of the forums if a black and brown two-tone freelander would enable the wearing of dark brown boots and a black belt? I'd rather not offend Hamish with mismatched leathers!!!

The 'shoes matching belt' seems to be a bit of an iron rule in sartorial circles

But as Kilted KT points out, some types of shoe are difficult to get in certain colours. I reckon if I came home wearing polished black brogues, and then slipped on brown walking boots for an evening stroll, I wouldn't dream of going to the trouble of changing belts too.

Do have a look at those dark brown tool belts though: 3" wide, lovely supple thick saddle leather, and usually cheaper than even a cheap kilt belt. I prefer it to my el cheapo 'piper's belt'.

Looking forward to your pics!

I love my two tone Freelander and will post pics of it going with both brown and black. I think that Belt and Shoes MUST match always. But that sporran belt can differ with the right accessories.

And I wouldn't dream of not going to the trouble of changing belts.
