I did have a thought and your mention of costume brought me the courage to mention what I otherwise would not have bothered. Probably wrong, even in my own estimation, but I was watching the movie "Rob Roy" the other day after reviewing this thread and ,despite all the overlying apparatus worn by the character thought that I spied this tartan in the coat worn by the Argyll for the final swordfight scene. In the end I decided that the movie coat tartan was more red based than this one, and that I could not make out the cut of the coat from the overlying plaid, belts, etc... worn by the character. There, you baited it out of me, against my will and better judgement. But as you noticed this thread was languishing without recent comment otherwise.

I don't know what the jacket is, my picture it not detailed enough and I was not there when they made that up but do know that, as you observed, it's not the ToM for March.
If no-one else wants to have a crack I might post details sooner than the end of the month.

When our schoolboard was first going into cutbacks, I was a vice-principal. Walking with a colleague into a school for a meeting, there was a stepladder with a lad well up inside the suspended ceiling so that we could only see him from the waist down. Without thinking, I said to my colleague, "Look - cutbacks! Half an electrician."
It didn't really go over all that well, but you bring back to mind the stuff that jumps out of our mouths at times. :oops:

I would say its a shirt, of no particular tartan. In the 50's we said Lumberjack shirt.

I think the tartan looks familiar, but I can't place it. As for the style, it looks 19th century to me. That's about as definite as I can get.
Is Matt Newsome allowed to give his input on this one?

Okay...looks like a Regency Era dressing gown, made up in an assymetric variant of the Skene tartan, fabric by WOB, made for a gentleman member of the Highland Society of London.:)
How far off am I?

BTW, the Culloden fabric arrived yesterday and it is beautiful. Thanks for setting up the custom weave.
