    Match or contrast sporran

    I am in the middle of making my first kilt. I have about 5 hours into it so far and I am just over half way done. It would be going faster if I wasn't neurotic about measure twice, cu.....remeasure, cu....double check again, then cut It is an x-kilt-ish design. I have combined parts from utilikilts and the x-kilt and then some of my own ingenuity. I had extra fabric from several yards of woodland BDU fabric that I originally bought for paintball (knee replacement ended that hobbie) so I figure what better thing for my first kilt attempt.....a tactikilt. I will be making a sporran to match the tactical theme. I also have all kinds of mil-spec webbing and buckles, again from paintball. Originally I was thinking of making the sporran out of the same BDU fabric but then I realized that it might look better if the sporran was all black, canvas/duck cloth. So what do the rest of you think might go better with the BDU kilt? I know someone is going to say "if you got the materials make both, you're bound to use them somewhere." So before some one says it let me answer with....I fully intend to make both. I need to know which should come first. I have a renaissance festival soon so the first one will be what I wear to that as I don't have time to make both before the festival.

    Thanks for the help

    I would probably make the contrasting one first just help my eyes from getting burnt out looking at the same pattern even longer.

    I agree you will end up with both anyway.
