"Jacobite" garb

[Hothir Ethelnor]

the coat is not an 18th century cut, the kilt is not belted correctly,

Other than that section I agree.

Perhaps the kilt should be pinned in the back only. I will have to give it another go or perhaps abandon the Feilidh Mhor for a wee kilt. But I am not convinced that the only way a Highlander ever wore his plaid when wearing a jacket was that way. Or that that is necessarily the norm. Now perhaps if I am able to do enough in depth research to come to that conclusion I will be happy to. But simply making arrogant sounding remarks and statements of absolute surety is likely to make me dismiss you (which I shouldn't.)

Now on to the cut of the jacket. I modified a 16th century pattern (French and Indian war period American civilian's coat) that was too large for me and the neckline came out lower than I anticipated. I was using some cheaper blanket like tartan to make the coat so I was not overly particular that it be 100% perfect on the first go. I don't see how the cut of the jacket (from what you can see of it) is unlike the paintings often used as references here and some of those seen on this thread which passed by with little or no comment. Solid colour contrasting cuffs are commonly found in reference sources, if it's the facings or perhaps the way the cuffs were cut or something, tell me what your beef with it is AND WHY it's so darn wrong.

I am simply a bit flabbergasted that you blew off the coat (which I assumed from my admittedly limited research and the source of my pattern) was acceptable.

Everything else I wore was simply what I had lying around that I threw on to finish "the look" for a group which has no real idea of what a 1745 highlander should look like or probably will ever care one way or the other.
