A very interesting and well made presentation on the dress Regs. Thanks for sharing.
I must remark that some of the feather bonnets pictured look just a bit wonky, or could that be attributed to photo cropping?
The style of wear on all headgear today is different than the old days, when Glens and bonnets were worn cocked to the side of the head.
I also note that some are still wearing the older short hair sporrans of the 60s and 70s. The latest sporrans have returned to a longer style; albeit too long on shorter soldiers.
Certainly the variety and appearance is improved by the return to scarlet doublets and feather bonnets for the drummers.
