    Question Why so common?

    Why is Royal Stewart so common? ive seen on every thing from shirts, crew socks, underwear, hats, etc...
    Is it because it is a simplistic design that is not distracting to the eye? It says in the Register that "Suggestions by various authors that the sett was known at the end of the 18th century and it was reputed to have been worn by one of Bonnie Prince Charlie's followers in the 1745 Rising". For that reason, did more followers wear it in support of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the rising? it also says in the register "George IV wore this on his visit to Scotland in 1822 and it was adopted by Queen Victoria for the Royal Family." curious to know the reason behind it. Thanks.
