Descriptions of Highland Attire in the Katherine Kurtz Adept Series

[Bugbear]

The Katherine Kurtz Adept Series came up in the Scottish ghost thread, and there are several descriptions of Highland attire throughout the novels. For example, in The Adept, Adam Sinclair and Peregrine Lovat "attend a full-dress ceilidh" in Dunfermline. Peregrine wears a Hunting Fraser tartan kilt, and there is also a musician in a green kilt at this ceilidh. Adam wears a kilt, Sinclair tartan, a doublet of his father's and a jabot with a sapphire brooch, the brooch having been given to his great-grandmother by Queen Victoria (114-19).

That's interesting that he is wearing a brooch in his jabot; is this pinning it together? I don't recall descussions of broochs being worn in the jabot.
