traditional vs. classic

An excellent example of the shoulder plaid-appropriate for daywear. Notice the XXVI Chief of Clan Cameron (Lochiel), wearing his plaid without a brooch pinned through to his argyll jacket, as that would indeed make it more of a costume in my opinion, or basically just would look out of place, not neccessarily costume like. Also note the two different shades of Cameron tartans; he uses the modern hue for his plaid, and the ancient hue for his kilt. He also wears a lovely Pine Marten sporran. I have seen this done before with the Clan Donald Chiefs and Chieftains.

Actually, Kyle, Lochiel is wearing two tartans here: a kilt of Cameron tartan, and a plaid of Cameron of Lochiel, which is his personal tartan and may only be worn by Lochiel and his close family.

The post above seems to give credit to me for posting of the photo, which I did not, although I was I had ready access to such resources.

All of these photos showing the plaid are fabulous and I think the subjects in them look born to it.

My earlier statement was meant to read that [I]I[I] could not wear the garment with the type of conviction to make it work. It would appear costumish (sp) on me.

It does not change the fact that I love the look. I hope others more suited to it keep it alive as an option.

Oh okay. I did think that the setts looked a wee bit different. Thanks for the clarification!
