Thanks "Z".....I knew about the rich dressing up their children in various fashions, I guess maybe I was overthinking this one
I do find it interesting though that they would go to the trouble of having a "clan badge" made up based on the family crest, just for a childs outfit, but then if you have money to burn....
Here's a well-written article on FDR's arms by a fellow clansman, Joseph McMillan:
I agree with Peter, the kilt definitely seems to be hemmed. And I take back what I said about having an outfit near identical to that in our museum collection. I didn't realize the outfit in the photo was made from a houndstooth/shepherd's check cloth. The one we have is solid grey/brown, with the selvage stripe in a darker brown.
