I am a Craig, on my Daddy's side, Clan Craig petered out in about 1630ish and became a sept of Clan Gordon.

I wear the Gordon tartan to honor my ties of blood to the Craigs & Gordons and I wear (civillian) Clan Craig badge to further detail my Sept therein. Although technically it is not right to mix.

As an American Soldier of Scottish desent (who has served along side the British Army) I could choose to wear the "Gordon Highlanders" (military) regailia to honor that unit of the British Army.

Do you catch the subtle differance?
