Thought the rabble might be interested in this reconstruction of the tartan of the 64th (Loudoun's Highlanders) just completed for an XMarker. As discussed in my paper on the 64th tartan, there were two options for the reconstruction. Jamie Scarlett's simpler version was the setting of choice. Here's the full web laid ouot so that the cloth can be joined for a belted plaid. A close up of the sett And detail of the chevron selvedge matched to the original. Unfinish (Scoured only) cloth by Elliotts who did a very nce job.

I have 4yds of this cloth spare if anyone is interested. 28" wide and unfinished (lightly scoured only). PM me if intersted.
I read your paper with interest. Yes my understanding is that "regimentals" was a term used in the 18th century for the military coat, and doesn't refer to anything beyond the coat itself.
