Mycheal, I think what you are referring to
I have also seen called a "highland cravat"
and I found some pictures of it at:
www.tartanweb.com
They used to have them in long and short versions.
Both look cool.
Go to the website and select "highland dress catalog"
the hit "outfits" and from there select "formal wear"
down the page to the left of the picture there is
a drop down "select" "montrose with cravat"
you'll find a good picture of what I think you are talking aboot. There are some more pics if you go
back up to "outfits" again and go to "jackets/capes"
and then look at both "strachan" and "sherrifmuir"
there are little pics down the page that you can hit
and enlarge two times. They used to have more pics than that of it and maybe still do if you search around a little bit.....hope this helps you.
I found a nice off-white silk one at the second hand
store for $5 bucks! I like the look.
Regards,
Muddy
