What is it about Burberry tartan...?

I had to go lookup 'chav' on urban dictionary. Quite enlightening.

Perhaps, but the version with the camel-coloured background is not atall like any other Thomson tartan, except for the pattern. I suspect it only exists because of it's not-quite-Burberry status. OTOH, if you were a chav called Thomson ...

(Of course, a Scottish chav would be a ned, as I pointed out, so perhaps a chav wearing a Thomson Camel kilt is automatically a ned?)

The sartorial question is whether you can mix and match a Burberry baseball cap with a Thomson Camel kilt? And do you wear your clan crest on a chain around your neck?

You would need to wear a chain around your neck that has a plaid brooch with the clan crest in the center .... for that added size and bling effect .

Hahaha no I don't wear Burberry caps or a large clan crest chain but thank you for giving me the idea.
Chav fashion has changed a lot since those days Hugo Boss and Ralph Lauren is the big label these days. Im sure Burberry stopped making the caps many years ago because of the association of chavs.

I see that plaid from time to time and I think it's ugly.

I don't care for any "Camel" tartan much, but of them Camel Stewart is the nicest-looking. (It's amazing how you can endlessly mutate the Stewart tartan and it always works somehow.)

I just googled "Burberry tartan" and this popped up... wowza...
