    I've found them on Etsy or here https://www.scottishtradingcompany.c...x&cPath=23_190

    If you are after a particular clan you could ask the clan associations. For example for Mackenzie there is the Clan Mackenzie Initiative who has this shop https://www.teepublic.com/stores/cla...nzie%2BPodcast

    Question Clan Badged Polo Shirts

    Now, THAT might be a way for me to enjoy a hot summer outing to nearby (US) or even actually remote (IN the "mother" country) Highland Games. Of course, before I'd do that in Scotland, I'd request advice from Jock Scot…

    I'm guessing that it would be more acceptable as mixed century attire than a "Ghillie" shirt. If so, would I be more acceptable with the shirt tucked in and the kilt waistline covered by a broad kilt belt and buckle, or worn "Amurican," with the bottom of the shirt overlapping the kllt waistband?

    Tucked, if you mean to wear it.

    I don't think I've ever worn a kilt in a shirt without a collar. And, although my memory is not perfect (according to my wife), I've never worn a polo shirt with a kilt. If the weather was warm, a plain button down short sleeve shirt was always fine.

    Nope. Just providing links to alternatives to what seemed like a steep price for polo.

    Some of you may be interested, that I have never worn a "polo shirt", or a T shirt for that matter, in my life. Also, I have never worn a shirt with a logo embroidered on it or, with a button down collar. I think probably, most of my friends and acquaintances of my age would say the same. Personally and for what it is worth, they are not a look that enthuses me.

    When I got my first kilt and began to frequent the various Highland games in my part of the world, I purchased a polo shirt with the "clan" (not really a thing in the Lowlands) garter and buckle device on the left breast. I wore it a few times before abandoning it for short-sleeved, collared shirts of the type you can get from Cabela's. Given the fact that it's hot more often than not in my part of the world, I most often wear something like the shirt pictured below with a kilt, except for on those rare occasions when it's cool enough to break the tweeds and tattersall!
