But I have paid very particular attention to the fine details of the Duke's dress, and I noticed a couple of things that I personally want to think about:

1. His jackets and vests have a very business suit look to them. No epualets, no special cuffs, no bone buttons, etc. Custom tailored, no doubt.
3. He only wears about two sporrans for the most part, and they are both brown "hunters," only one had a metal cantle.
5. His shoes and sporran do not match, AND IT'S OK!
9. There are often brass buttons kind of like a blazer, which I have never seen on a kilt jacket for sale
10. He could do with a bonnet.
Jim, HRH wears what most of the Highland gentry wear today. That is, none of the military and/or 18C and 19C bits and pieces like gauntlet cuffs and epaulets. Just a normal jacket cut to work with the kilt. Actually, he has a large number of sporrans about the place, but chooses to wear just his favourites, mostly ones that he has inherited. He's been gifted a few, but I doubt he has purchased one in his life. His shoes are always black because that is traditional with Highland dress. I've not seen the brass buttons, but would love to! The only time the Highland gentry wear bonnets is when they have to display a clutch of feathers; he doesn't have to do that, so no bonnet.
