Worst costume?
While researching early 19th century Scottish clothing, I have run across some rather questionable attempts by non-Scots at Scottish costumes, so I thought it would be fun to make silly poll out of them.
Poll:
Which of these 3 early 19th c. "Scottish" costumes is the worst?
1. The Bavarian who couldn't find any tartan and thought ribbons were a good substitute for hose.

Thomas James Serle as Rob Roy Macgregor 1830s-1840s. He has a bunch of Roman-inspired elements: laminar shoulder armor, a shield that looks more like a clipeus than a targe, and gladiator sandals, to make the outfit look historical, I guess.
