It is no longer a rank in the British or Canadian Army, it is now a position. Here is a wikipedia link which seems to be good info[-wise.

Very informative. Thanks.

At the very bottom of the Regimental Tailors page the waistcoat is called a vest. Does anyone know why?

I am not 100% but I think that the vest just has a front and the back is almost completely open where as the proper waistcoat has a full back the vest is designed to be worn with a mess jacket.
However I could be wrong and talking complete rubbish.

I believe the "lowland" Pattern Glen refers to the red, black, and white Dicing...as opposed to the Red and white as worn by the A&SH, and the plain black ones worn by the Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment (of course now all part of the Royal Regiment of Scotland).

That would be my assumption as well, as a number of the Lowland regiments - the KOSBs, the Royal Scots, the HLI and the old RSF wore diced glengarries. Only the Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) wore plain rifle green glengarries.

I was looking for this information recently as well; thanks for posting the link!

Thunderbolt,

The links below may help. The first one is to a page with downloadable manuals. The other has uniform information such as the "how worn" in AR 670-1.
