"Jacobite" garb

[The Bear]

I was watching Rob Rob for the millionth time and im sure he's not wearing a great kilt! its looks like its in 2 maybe even 3 parts. With the kilt being worn at the bottom and some cloth tucked into the back and side then pined on to the shoulder. This is something im planning on doing in the future but should i just use a fly plaid for the top part?

When little kilts came into common usage, plaids were still worn - or 'carried' might be a more accurate term. For example:



I'm pretty sure such plaids were somewhat larger than today's 'fly plaids'....

I was thinking about putting an outfit like this togather. Am i right in thinking this is from the 1790s period? To my understanding they were using box pleats at this point. What kind of shoulder plaid would be good for this outfit?

Some thoughts on the annular-type brooch's adoption, with the understanding that for most of its Scottish history it was considered women's wear. . .From an old thread at SFI:

Crua Chan!!!

By the left, quick march, crua chan!
It was seven hundred and forty-five,
The highland spirit had revived,
Mac Dougall and Mac Donald there,
The clans had come from everywhere, singing:

Fee fi fo fum,
I smell the blood of a englishman,
Fee fi fo fum,
Come on London, here we come.

We went all the way down south,
We were frothening at the mouth,
Coming down to Derby Town,
We'd beaten everyone around, singing:

Fee fi fo fum,
I smell the blood of a englishman,
Fee fi fo fum,
Come on London, here we come.

We ended at Culloden Moor,
Feeling bad and feeling poor,
The Redcoats had chased us there,
There we died and there we stayed, singing:

Fee fi fo fum, I smell the blood of a scotsman,
Fee fi fo fum, United Kingdom here we come.

We the bonnie prince has gone back home,
He's never gonna come back.

We'ldo to you at Wembley,
We'ldo it to you in pubs,
With the scottish louts larking about.
Here come your rats, Crua Chan Lad.
