I have matching bias taran vests, but on some occasions, Northumberland tartan vests, although atypical tartan...

And a nice collection of salad, to boot!
Thank you for your service, sir.

Indeed! That's a whole lot of "fruit salad!"

I know a father and son from up Jock Scot's way who frequently mix tartans. The father is always impeccible; the son is very brave!

Wow! Would someone in Scotland, or at least near at hand, please check on Jock and make sure he's OK.

I am sorry but that is definitely not my cuppa tea.

Well put, Nathan. I've always been a fan of this cracking photo. I think the wearing of the tartan waistcoat in the restricted Balmoral tartan works rather well with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh's white tie attire. Especially when he balances it out with 'Argyll' style hose in the same colours as the Balmoral tartan.

If a "commoner" chose to do this some here would thing it was "matchy-matchy" hahaha.

Part of the 'hooray henry' sett?

Maybe no connection whatsoever, but green and white diced hose are the 'uniform' of the Royal Scottish Pipers' Society when in evening wear.

Definitely not. The first photo shows Hugh Cheape, a well known piping historian and Gaelic scholar. Hugh teaches at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.

I have of course heard of Prof. Hugh Cheape but had never seen a photo of him before!
