The Language of Clothing

Indeed they do.The tartan of the Atholl Highlanders are a prime example of this. I seem to recall that the last time I saw them parade, there were at least four very different shades of their tartan to be seen being very proudly worn by all ranks.

Ah yes, but they are a bit older, c.1840 to be precise. I doubt much modern tartan will still look so good after nearly 200 years of use.
