Prince Charles Duke of Rothesay in kilt photos

[Deil the Yin]

I don't know why there must be a "precedent" regarding flashes: Prince Charles wears them the way he likes them! Ifyou like the look of his flashes, then go for it!

Honestly, I wasn't looking for a smart-*** response. It seemed a logical question since most modern Highland attire is rooted in military (especially) and British fashion, neither of which I am expertly versed. Further to, as this is a kilt forum, it also seemed logical that those reading this thread might be interested to learn more about the roots of modern Highland attire as so elegantly displayed by HRPoW, if there was one in this particular case. Thus, as I stated, I was CURIOUS if there was a precedence (NOT that there had to be), especially since I had been COPYING the PoW for some time now, ie 10+ years...

Obviously you are reading more into Sanford's post than I am, I did not see it as a smart comment at all. Just another opinion on it, from someone who knows a thing or two about Traditional Highland Attire.

Sorry, Deil, if I seemed like a smart-***. I didn't intend to be, but I did want to point out that we don't need precedents for everything that we do or wear, that much of fashion is based on individual taste and style. I am, though, starting a thread about flashes, so you can see that Prince Charles isn't the only one to wear his flashes in that way!

Kind Regards,
Sandford

Maybe so... I was feeling pretty surly this morning.

Much obliged for your clarification, and I certainly see your pointe. I look forward to perusing your flashes thread, as it indeed sounds interesting.

Aye,
