"What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hodden grey and al' that..."
Hodden Grey, as the quote from the LS web page mentioned, was the clothing colour of the common man in Scotland. Hodden Grey is also mentioned in the song "The Star o' Rabbie Burns":
"Though he was but a plougman-lad,
and wore the hodden grey...
Cheers,
