I posted much earlier of the popular "Ponderosa Shirt of the sixties, also referred to as the HIPPIE Shirt.
Little Joe work a shirt similar to the Ghillie shirt. Several cowboys, including Nick Adams of the Series Johnny Yuma the Rebel wore one, and even Steve McQueen work one. Typical Costume shirt of the fifties and sixties, not just for Pirates anymore.....;;
Does this look familiar, markets and Laced up Range Shirt
Patrick all we are saying the Ghillie shirt is not a Scottish traditional shirt, more Wild West or Pirate than Scottish, and yes more of a costume look.
