Yeah, I noted that before. the Duke just looks dam**d good in his clothes.
But I have paid very particular attention to the fine details of the Duke's dress, and I noticed a couple of things that I personally want to think about:
1. His jackets and vests have a very business suit look to them. No epualets, no special cuffs, no bone buttons, etc. Custom tailored, no doubt.
2. The vests are all square cut at the bottom, and I like that look.
3. He only wears about two sporrans for the most part, and they are both brown "hunters," only one had a metal cantle.
4. His hose are fancier than his jackets.
5. His shoes and sporran do not match, AND IT'S OK!
6. He often has a very simple lapel flower. I never see a man with a flower like that anymore.
7. His pocket silk matches the jacket with little contrast
8. His "blanket pin" kilt pin moves up and down
9. There are often brass buttons kind of like a blazer, which I have never seen on a kilt jacket for sale
10. He could do with a bonnet.
