Tartan Jackets

[haukehaien]

It does seem like rather a lot of tartan, and I don't see myself wearing it for general wear ... OTOH, it's certainly appropriate for historical portrayals (theatrical or re-enactment.) Have any of you seen the portrait The MacDonald Boys? it was painted about 1750 by an unknown artist and shows two young MacDonalds, one with a golf club, one with a rifle. They are both head-to-foot in tartan (jacket, breeches and hose for one; jacket, waistcoat, kilt and hose for the other) and between them are wearing four different tartans. I don't if it was everyday wear or not, but it's certainly ... different from anything I've ever seen at a games or gathering.

I tend to agree with Blu; I think I'd like the jacket, in a nice solid color. Otherwise, it's just a bit much.

While it's true that what was once thought of as sharp or fashionable 1, 2, or 3 hundred years ago is now looked upon as odd or funny, I'm getting the distinct impression you fellas aren't jonesing for tartan jackets.
