Thanks to the mods for initiating this forum! I'll start the ball rolling....
We occasionally hear mention of "Jacobite" items of clothing, be it "Jacobite Jackets" or "Jacobite Shirts." The problem here is that the period of the Jacobite Risings in Scotland encompassed the period from 1689 to 1746, and fashions changed and evolved quite a bit during that stretch of years (even in the "backwards" Highlands!).
Here's a look from the beginning of the period, with belted plaid, hodden grey doublet, and woad-dyed blue bonnet:
And here's one fromthe tail-end of the period, the `45 Rising, with philabeg, tartan coat, and indigo-dyed bonnet (indigo imports got cheaper in the intervening years) with the white cockade (not worn in earlier risings):
Quite a different look between the two extremes of the Jacobite era...!
