A Thread of History

[Domehead]

I've actually had my hands on said silk sash. There's absolutely no way of proving that it is associated with the '45 era and my own opinion is that it's more likely to be first quarter 19th century.

Figheadair,

Brilliant! Thank you for the clarification. It would have been better if I'd written "was reputed to be a silk scarf..."
Likely, I'll never get the chance to handle the specimens you have.

My tartanological education is "limited" to the conventional canon, your specific publications (incl. other contributors to the discipline) and collective cited & sourced material.
Hence, my very academic approach.

Thank you again.
I sincerely appreciate your contributions.

Slainte,
Domehead

I can't contribute much here but golly this is a neat thread (pardon the pun) with lots of facinating information!
