However, in the U.S. most people do not know or care about British political history. We are Americans. Most of the people who wear diced bonnets just buy them because they feel they are stylish. Because it is no longer political, and seems to be a fashion issue, I would wear a diced bonnet if it matched my tartan.
    See my earlier post; what's your documentation for the statement above?

    I have never seen anything reliable, save the oft-quoted heresay on the Internet, and we all know how reliable that can be.

    If you have a legitmate source that documents this claim, I'd love to see it.

    Regards,
