    Figheadair, I hadn't come across that image before. Are you saying tartan sashes for men have historical precedence?

    I have often thought about the older photos we're shown on the forum. It has occurred that someone points to a photo and says "see, this person did _____ back in 1890, so it's historically accurate." I think to myself (and have had the discussion with employees, some of whom are re-enactors), "Did the person in the older photo know what they were doing or was that the 100 + year old version of a NOOB who had his photograph taken, immortalizing a bad fashion choice, which confuses us in the present to think something was "historically accurate" which was otherwise a faux pas."
