ARN - Newby Question

[Theron Bretz]

Well, I have a leather jerkin pattern (or can make one off of my jerkin),
but it's not "Scottish".  One of the most common misconceptions surrounding
the Scots in period is that they had developed the stereotypical national
dress one sees today at highland games, Warner Brothers cartoons, and the
hideously incorrect Braveheart.  In fact, a 16th century Scot pretty much
dressed the same as a 16th century Englishman.  His clothes might have been
made from coarser materials, but even that would depend on his social
status.
