    Found a photo of a member of The Black Watch (probably in the 1990s) wearing this form of dress



    1952: wearing Battle Dress, khaki web belt, leather sporran, with coloured hose and spats. Combinations like this strike me as odd, also the wearing of Full Dress waistbelt, dirk, and horsehair sporran with khaki hose and puttees. Note that the fellow on the right is wearing the WWII style Battle Dress jacket with a collar intended to be worn closed. Wearing it in the manner there, open with shirt and tie, proved to be so popular that the style seen centre and left was introduced after the war.



    Wearing Full Dress dirks with otherwise ordinary Battle Dress



    And WWII pipers would NEVER wear a beard... oh, wait...
