Jacobite Shirt origins?

now now Pleater & bubba, you are both right... Muslins over this way come in multiple weights... from the super flimsy gauze like fabric - which would be a bit light for a shirt - to the almost canvas weight heavy duty stuff - often used for upholstery...which woudl rub your raw in ways that most people would not enjoy...

"Argh,Joes be the only place for Pirate Steve"
Name the movie,

New t-shirt seen: A blood spattered pattern on fron with quote:
"I went hunting with Dick Cheney and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."
Fell off my chair laughing.
Which tartan should I wear with this?

It's from "Dodgeball" isn't it?

I have three Jacobite or peasant shirts that I wear for casual occasions. I think they look smart and even in the hot and humid days of August they are very comfortable. Graham, you look very good in yours but how did you get that lovely young lady to stand next to you?

I believe the complete title for the 'Pirate Steve' movie is:

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

I have nothing good to say about Jacobite shirts

I had to pay her

She is my SCD teacher, we were off to a Burns Supper in another city. She accompanied me because my wife was out of town.

I now jokingly refer to her as wife No.2 (my wife doesn't like that joke, Australians have no sense of humour)

I had a cammo kilt, but I dropped it in the grass and never found it ;)

Brian

and pray tell, why did you drop your kilt in the grass????

Some very chivalrous pursuit, I trust....

I suspect that the Jacobite shirt is a result of someone going to a sewing person and describing what was wanted, and the sewer, perhaps being used to the glam rock sort of gear that I made and wore in the early 70's found a similar pattern and made one - without the gathered sleeve top - added the lacing in imitation of Richard Green's Robin Hood to make it 'authentic' and there you have the Jacobite shirt.
