Canadian PM in a kilt.

No, not that Prime Minister....our 13th one, John G. Diefenbaker.

Anyone else able to find any world leaders (past and present) in a kilt?

*let's leave the political opinions out of this one alright

...I doubt that we'd have much difficulty talking Bill Clinton into wearing one.

(Apparently Slick Willie and I are very distant cousins and that IS on the Scots side of the family.)

What the heck jacket is The Chief wearing, there? Epaulettes? Huge cuffs? Huh?

**Big Paul** · 10th August 06, 07:16 PM

Here are a bunch!! Linky

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Diefenbaker the name of the dog in the TV show Due South?? (no intended slam against the Prime Minister)

Yes, many of the character names on Due South were former Canadian Prime Ministers.

It's an Argyll. Pretty common.

Is it? The epaulettes and cuffs threw me. Must say that I like it.

As for the Due South conversation... yes, Dief is the wolf. There's also a reporter by the name of MacKenzie-King and an RCMP inspector named Thatcher. Good show. Still my favourite.

When you see an Argyll jacket advertised with "gauntlet cuffs", now you know what they're talking about! My green tweed one has 'em, and the epaulettes, too....
