If I might just say, we are discussing civilian attire here. A swatch of tartan is perfectly alright for a military tam and the correct tartan and how it is displayed is laid down by regulations. A well dressed civilian does not usually wear a tartan swatch on his bonnet, or a tartan bonnet.
Just saying.
