Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. The chap in the Glengarry bonnet has quite the nice jacket and waistcoat on - I love the colour and pattern.

Cheers,

A country.

One thing that I noticed while going through the entire thread is that HRH rarely wears a belt. There was one photo where he wore one with a PC, which I will normally not do, but for all of the day-wear photos he was without, unless it was hidden under the square-cut vest.

Eric...this has been discussed at length in several past threads. Wearing a belt with a kilt is generally done for looks/fashion rather than for any practical purpose. A well fitted kilt has no need of a belt...and the added bulk at the waist is generally considered unnecessary and undesirable when the kilt is worn in combination with a waistcoat/vest. So, in general...wear a belt, or wear a waistcoat...but not both. Some of our members here wear neither belt nor vest.

The purpose belts serve: (1) Break up (visually) the long waist on the kilt when no vest is worn, or, (2) for attaching a dirk with full formal wear.

Finally...I've been through this thread and don't recall HRH ever wearing a PC...I might be wrong. Are you maybe referring to the picture of him wearing a "Balmoral" doublet? I don't think I've ever seen him in a PC. Which post are you referring to?

It is the velvet 'Balmoral' doublet. One can purchase this style of doublet from Highland Clans out of Argyllshire (same place Sandy purchased his tartan, 'Appin' jacket). I have a few bespoke tartan waistcoats from them.

Yes he is another snappy dresser but he has the money!

Lord Thurso is quite the smart dresser. I also quite like the Glen plaid in those tones.
