Truibhs – Friend Or Foe ?

There is a great difference between tartan trousers and tartan trews as worn by the regiments.

Well, that's trew. (pun intended! )

I was just perusing the thread with pictures of Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay, and kept noticing something in the pictures. I suppose these would be tartan trousers, not traditional trews, but apparently they still do hold some place in society, or people wouldn't be wearing them to meet HRH. I probably wouldn't have noticed them had it not been for this thread.

I don't think there is any question about trews "having a place in society." Pretty much anything goes when it comes to dress when meeting members of the Royal Family these days.

The gentleman in this photograph wearing the trews is His Grace the Duke of Fife, a cousin of The Queen and therefore of Prince Charles.
