Another view:



Note how well matched the velvet facings are in colour to the green in the kilt.

Here is a pic of Mr. Eph MacLean, the same gentleman whom Matt pictured wearing his red doublet. This time in a full tartan outfit.

On the left is our own Cawdorian. This was taken at a Kirkin' of the Tartans two years ago.

Interesting that it is two MacLeans who have tartan doublets! Dr. MacLean does look splendid in his.

Thanks, all, for the pics. I had seen a doublet similar to JSFMACLJR's on a website, but it did not look nearly as good on a mannequin as it does on a living, drinking Scot. I am impressed also by Dr. McLean's- it looks like a Regulation to my untutored eye. In keeping with Matt's sage advice, I believe the best way to wear more than one tartan at a time, might be to wear ones that have the same colors, save one- such as tartans based on "Campbell Plus". For now, I will watch and learn.

SPLENDID , indeed.

If you were looking at highlandclans.co.uk --- that IS JSFMACLJR's doublet.

I have to say, and it's only my humble opinion, that you can have too much tartan. kilt and matching tartan waistcoat, with a solid doublet in a complimenting or neutral color, and solid hose that match the doublet. OR kilt and matching bias cut doublet with solid waistcoat of a complimentary or neutral color and hose that match the waistcoat.
