In fact, the only instance I can recall where I've seen someone wearing two tartans, not from the same clan, is a a Murray kilt worn with a Jacobite tartan waistcoat. Given that the individual was a bit of a romantic and the Murrays were ardent Jacobites, though, it seemed to make sense...

Did you see this recent post by Matt concerning tartan waistcoats? I had an opportunity to see two of his this past weekend and was much impressed.
