I mean, in that period, most paintings were already completed prior to the face portion... so it may have been just a rendition of what the artist would have thought they would wear at the time. A recreation of a shirt from that period might have been a very long (down to the mid-thigh) wearing t-tunic with long sleeves that go just past mid-forearm.
I was just doing a bit of tongue-in-cheek. I don't claim to know what's historically accurate.
But OC Richard seems firm in his belief that Jacobite shirts aren't historic Scottish attire, and I haven't seen any of the Scottish historians disagree.
