    A very interesting photo of two lads



    a fellow with a very full plaid



    Abroath 1906. The fact that the piper lacks collar badges, and is wearing a cap badge that looks like a clan badge, gives him a civilian look to me; yet he is wearing medals.



    The Scottish Village, London, 1909



    I wonder what this guy won all those medals for! An early appearance of a lace jabot and cuffs



    Just look at the great care this gent took in his dress! The jacket fits perfectly and he has been very precise about his plaid and hose. Note the patterned tops to the hose, something usually not seen back then.

    Probably the earliest image I've had showing a lace jabot



    A photo taken in Edinburgh. This gent really has style, and you can see that he's accustomed to wearing these clothes



    A WWI-ish photo showing an early military "day" style sporran... note the interesting fastening

    Worthy of note is that the jabot is being worn in a manner "frowned upon" by so many XMTSers: with an open doublet and low, evening waistcoat.

    My collar of choice, Scott! Though I must admit, I have yet to wear it with a jabot.

    Hmmm...

    He is following "the rule" on that one, as he is wearing a dirk, which would necessitate the wearing of a dirk belt.

    Ah, of course, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that one up.
