Front apron design/layout

[OC Richard]

regiments that use the Gordon tartan, the dominant stripe is centered on the front apron, even though that stripe is not the pivot point...

Yes I think it makes more sense to base the judgement on what looks "right" when the kilt is worn, rather than the place a weaver considers the pivot point, if indeed the two are in difference places.

I should point out that in the (former) Gordon Highlanders the officers' and other ranks' kilts varied as to where the yellow line was placed, one had the yellow line centred, the other had the mid-point between two yellow lines centred.

You can imagine the yellow line being white to see how Lamont would look with both styles.

Here, a private and a corporal with the yellow line centred.



Here, officers with the mid-point between two yellow lines centred.

Note the elderly veteran in the lovely check tweed jacket had served as an officer: both his kilt and his cap-badge denote this.
