    It appears that this Nob Stewart is quite the character: http://nobstewart.com/

    That much tartan suits him, IMHO; it is a fitting costume for an entertainer and certainly provides a visual spectacle!

    I rather like the bias patch pockets on the jacket.

    Mind you, it took me several minutes to get down to that level of detail. . .

    As a left over hippy wannabee ( I was born in 1958, and by the time I was old enough to be one, hippies were disappearing.), I do love the glasses!

    Hope you all have a "groovy" week.

    Such a thing as too much tartan...?

    Surely there is not such a thing as too much tartan...?

    Though this may be another example of taking things a bit too far...?

    Well, except for the white hose and his lack of weapons, the subject of the photo doesn't look too different from early-to-mid-18th c. Highland clan gentlemen who wore multiple tartans in their portraits. Or consider a recent photo (which I don't have, but which has appeared on this forum) of the Chief of Clan MacGregor, dressed from head to toe in his clan tartan at public events. I can certainly appreciate the variety of it all, since multi-tartan (usually four) is how I dress when in front of the public as an 18th c. Highland Jacobite reenactor.
