Here's a question I've never seen answered, and one I find very interesting:

What is the timeline (say, post 1900) of contemporary Highlandwear?

Specifically, when for example did the various jacket styles (Prince Charlie, Argyll, Crail, Braemar) come into existence, what influences did they draw on, and who on earth gave them those names?

When did 'semi-dress' sporrans enter the arena and why?

What would be the main differences between Highlandwear of the 1920s, the 50s, and the 80s?

Any ideas, or perhaps you even remember when a particular item came into common use or went out of fashion?
