Imagine the shock that befell me when I looked at the costume for Major General Stanely:
They ought to be ashamed of themselves! I'd write a very angry, yet civil, letter explaining to them the, for lack of a better word, deficiencies of this costume, but I'm currently struggling with derivatives and integrals of inverse trigonometric functions*.

Whatever he is the model of it's neither a Modern Major General or a Modern Kilted Man!

That is truly one of the worst kilt imitations I have ever seen. . . . is that a cardboard sporran?

Yup, sure is. Really pathetic, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those.

Not only is it an insult to Scotland but also to Gilbert and Sullivan!

In the 1971 version of "Kidnapped" (starring Michael Caine), Highland soldiers were clearly in close-up wearing cut-out flat or cardboard sporrans. Thecamera got just a little too close to avoid showing such fakery in costuming.
