One observation I thought worth mention is that there seemed to be a preference for wearing these type sporrans with the lacey collars and more Vicotorian(?) style formal wear? I thought it also seemed to fit better in most of these instances as opposed to ganged with the modern PC and bow tie etc. More or less anyway...

Really enjoyed the post and the piccies. Well done!
A good point, Wes. It's important that all the elements of an outfit go together, not just in levels of formality, but in style, as well. I think an angora goat hair sporran, for example, might compliment a Sherrifmuir worn with lace jabot or a cravat quite nicely. Perhaps it would not look so congruous with an Argyle and neck tie.
