    I agree, Dale. My sentiments as well.

    From what I understand they used costuming contains elements from other periods if it fit the "look" they were going for. The blog mentioned in this thread has more details.

    Interested to here what @Terry-dresbach has to say about some of the costume choices.

    Sounds like the boots are a compromise "French" boot, from Jamie's service there.

    And "French" boots are quite appropriate for a Fraser given their genealogy and clan history.

    If I remember correctly, there is mention of both Jamie and Dougal serving in a military campaign in France in the first book. The second book is set in France, as well.

    Looks like Jamie's wearing something akin to a Postillion boot.

    Really nice photo of Sam Heughan as Jamie here:



    Probably the best still shot featuring his dirk I've seen yet, and it's pretty clearly this one:
