Hopefully one of the rabble with more knowledge on dress can help answer a question on early regimental dress. The records of the Highland Independent Companies (later 43nd Black Watch) contain reference to the purchase of Bonnets, Plaids , shoes, Blazons over a 3 year period 1731 -34.

Were Blazons some item of dress or were they some sort of small company flag which is the usual meaning of the word?
