    Looks like most of the hits are to the left arm-the arm furthest extended in a firing position, thus most exposed????

    Re: Scout jamboree.
    Interesting to note that, apart from kilt length and 3-tassle sporrans, these three men have nothing in common.
    Different sporran height, quite different upper garments, various accessories -- is the one on the right wearing a mobile phone holder as well as a dirk on his belt?

    Wink

    Zippered tartan jacket on left is very, very nice. I hope it's alright if I port this to Brooks Brothers with the suggestion they add it to the next spring collection. I'm serious!

    Err note the date, 1939. I have no idea what the small holder is for, maybe tobacco or snuff. The photo was freely available on the net.

    A very practical look, that I like a lot. On the far left he seems to be wearing a locket belt - a Scout belt presumably. I still wear an old Boys Brigade locket belt with my kilt and it seems to go well.
