Traditional Civilian Highland SHIRTS

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Great photo, Dale, it shows off the tattersal pattern with the tartan quite well. I have a very similar shirt, but in photos the pattern doesn't tend to show well, so it comes across looking almost white, so I can't use the pictures as an example. But yours works perfectly!

Here's a photo taken last year at the Pitlochry Highland Games. The kilted gentleman looks to be a vet from the sporran and tie (though I cannot ID the regiment from the photo). But the pic shows off the tattersal pattern of his shirt with the kilt quite well.


From the same Highland Games, an older man paying close attention to the athletics.


This is from this year's Taste of Scotland festival in Franklin. Here I am in the parade (wearing my bonnet backwards - why didn't someone tell me?!)


Another tattersal shirt at the same festival.


This is from Stone Mountain 2010. All three of us kilties are wearing shirts with patterns (though the pattern on mine is too small and subtle to show in the pic).


A well dressed gent from the Stone Mountain Games 2009, adding a nice sweater vest to his tattersal shirt.


I also think that you can incorporate a patterned tweed jacket and/or waistcoat into the tattersal shirt/tartan kilt combo. A nice windowpane pattern works quite well.

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.

I expect one could blow the photo up a little further and ID the tie, if not the sporran badge, but what is that young lady doing with the paddle?

She is "Bashing the Rat" as it falls from the pipe.

My guess as well - proper shape for it.

Ebay special, which I had made up into a jacket, which I subsequently sold. Sometimes I miss it....
