Cheers,

The picture is from Nicolson Kiltmakers, not cheap

but nice to have ideas

Some of the checkered topped hose can be ordered from Macdonald Sporrans at buyakilt.com. I have bought a few things from them so far and have been very ploeased with the service and the product.

The picture is somewhat dark so we will have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

And Phil - well the Her late Majesty, the Queen Mother was born in England yet she would not have thanked anyone for not thinking her to be Scottish and Princess Margaret was born at Glamis yet perhaps had less contact with Scotland than most of her English born relatives.

Place of birth is obviously not the whole story...

Trefor this is the same doublet that Charles wears regularity, here are a couple of other photos of it:

I think taken together these dispel any myth that HRH is wearing anything but a doublet with a belt outside.

Yes I have one the same -

but wear the belt underneath.

Very smart. Made by Highland Clans out of Argyll I presume...aka, the Balmoral doublet? I have seen the photo (bottom) of HRH Prince Charles wearing this style of doublet many times before, does it not appear that HRH wears the belt in the same manner as you (again, look at the bottom photo of the two)? Underneath the Inverness flaps? I suppose either way would work, especially if one desired to wear a dirk and frog.

I once attended an evening function at Holyrood Palace where HRH Prince Charles was kilted and yes, he wore his belt over his doublet. The colour of the doublet struck me as being very much "Thistle green", which is the colour of the broad ribbon of the Order of the Thistle, as opposed to a bright green or a "tartan" green.
