Thanks "Z".....I knew about the rich dressing up their children in various fashions, I guess maybe I was overthinking this one 
I do find it interesting though that they would go to the trouble of having a "clan badge" made up based on the family crest, just for a childs outfit, but then if you have money to burn....
