PS to Matt: I believe the gentleman in question is wearing his own crest on his sporran, as many armigers do.

Do you think? I had assumed it to be a regimental badge, especially given that he seems to be wearing a regimental tie. I suppose it could be either.

At first glance it looked like a "Jimmy" badge -- St. Andrew & his cross -- that was worn on the sporrans of the Black Watch.

Can I ask why no breast pockets on collared shirts?

I agree!

Just to repeat myself from another thread.
If we want to be traditional with our shirts, NO LOGOS, or BUTTON DOWN collars and preferably no breast pocket, please.
Alright we are talking day wear shirts here with long sleeves, not dress(UK definition) shirts. Well the tattersall shirt is a firm favorite, but there are also Gingham checks and Bengal stripes to consider, plus plain(no too loud) colours too. We, in particular, must not forget the plain white shirt for the more smart kilted day occasion and of course in conjunction with the black silver buttoned argyll for formal day wear(morning suit equivalent).

Before I joined this forum, I would have bet my last dollar against someone telling me a striped or checked shirt would work with a kilt. I thouroughly enjoy looking at threads like these to see what actually does work and it is fascinating.
To that end, I have purchased a tattersall shirt to go with my newest kilt from John @ Keltoi. It is to be unveiled at my sisters wedding in August.
A heartfelt thanks to all who have broadened my horizons!!

Be carefull, there is a time and a place to wear a tattersall shirt, or any style of shirt, and many would suggest a wedding is not the time, or, the place for the tattersall, unless the happy event is very informal.
