Hi, I have a current thread in kilt advice concerning an Edward VIII style jacket made by House of Labhran. I want to post a question in this section concerning the royal family wearing kilts. In this photo below Edward VIII and George VI are wearing similar outfits but I was wondering what they are wearing over their shoulders. Is it like a blanket or is it meant to be like a fly? It is not something that I have seen done very often and I wanted to know if anyone on here had any ideas.
