Ferguson Britt sporran photos
You know, so many of the folks here in the forum post lovely pictures of themselves proudly wearing a Ferguson Britt sporran. I'm keen on the idea of putting a gallery of this sort of photo on the museum's gift shop page. If anyone would like their photo used in such a way, please email it directly to the museum at tartans@scottishtartans.org, with something like "Ferguson Britt photo" in the subject.
Photos of yourself wearing and enjoying the sporran -- at a Highland Games, wedding, out on a hike, at a beer festival, a Burns Night, you name it. Just let us see them "in action!"
(By the way, I asked above to have the photos emailed directly to us. However, if people post photos in this thread, I'll also assume this means you give permission for the Scottish Tartans Museum to also use that photo on our web page.)

Great idea! It was so nice to see Mr. Britt at the games and have a nice chat-and see some of his latest sporrans as well! They're really beautiful and well made!

Hmmm, title idea for my next novel, "Blood on the Sporran."
Dare I look....dare I....?

Matt, you know this might be considered as a form of torture under "The Jones Convention."

I'm asking the other person in a picture that was taken of me and an aquiantence at a convention in vegas a few months back, it's a good picture, but the other person is dressed up in a costume as a dwarf (though she'll claim that's how she normally looks!) If I get her permission, I'll email you the picture / a link to the picture

Ron,
The F-B sporrans are absolutely top notch, well worth the money.
Matt,
If you like you can use this one F B Black Mink (and a 5 yard knife pleat Matt Newsome Kilt to boot!)

Cheers
Jamie

I absolutely love the Ferguson Britt sporrans, so much so that I bought 2 of them one black and one brown, they are quality pieces, and as you are fond of saying you can have 2 of 3 price, quality or service, with these sporrans I think you get all 3, are they expensive, that depends on the way you look at it, for the workmanship involved I would say they are fairly priced.
Matt I already sent you this one but I thought I'd put it here as well, you can also use the one of the Muscrat as well if you wish. I will email you the orignal file.
