Irish Brath (Sash/fly plaid)

I find it utterly hilarious that someone can argue with a straight face that the Irish Army doesn't know how to wear an Irish brat correctly, but a British Army regiment does!

I must ask, what is the three "patch looking" items on their kilts, they run down along side the open side of their aprons?

Those are shamrocks with regimental badges on them, which serves a kilt pins.

Well us Irish always needed a little extra to hold us down then the rest of the world.

Those are the regimental badges of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, the Royal Ulster Rifles, and the Royal Irish Fusiliers, which were amalgamated to form the Royal Irish Rangers in 1968.



Note the brat that the piper's wearing. Triolamj, if you're going to continue to insist that the cloak of the RIR is a brat, you at least owe us an explanation as to why the Royal Irish Regiment themselves refer to it as a "great cloak".

They're obviously not wearing their customary uniform. They're not wearing their usual color or style of tunic. Perhaps they're also not wearing their customary brats. Perhaps because they're on tour and a lighter fly plaid takes up less space and weight than a heavy brat. When you travel to a destination where you're going to wear your kilt, do you take all your accesories with you?

Triolamj, I would also suggest that before you wax any further loquacious upon topics of which you so evidently haven't the faintest clue and then proceed to smugly insult others with "a duck is a duck is still a duck", you might consider doing even the slightest modicum of research. It is far preferable to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all trace of reasonable doubt.
