Lethbridge Herald, The (Newspaper) - September 16, 1954, Lethbridge, Alberta HIGHLIGHTED IN THE It's Tartan Undies Now By ARCH MacKENZIE Canadian Press Stall Writer T CP The land clan tartans are still caught last in a tussle between trade and tradition Export anJ Internal sales of cloth clothing and other ducts the vivid clan colors have never been better said a spokesman for the Scottish Industrial Council But continuing letters to The Tunes and other newspapers testify to the deep sense of outrage some Scots feel at the prospect of any Tom Dick or Harriet donning legitimate tan patterns Just like wearing an old school tie to which one is not entitled said one cor- respondent XXX TAIWAN UNDIES Notwithstanding such sentiment sales are booming in tartan com- that bear little connection with national highland dress past or present A Glasgow women's wear Irm reported that it couldn't keep pace with Canadian and American de- mand for women's undies in the old clan colors Bras and garter belts in such lighter clan tartans as the Macpherson Royal Stewart and Buchanan went like hotcakes it reported Some purists chased to match their bloodlines Now the firm is producing the same outfits in darker Prazer Campbell and other patterns which incidentally are going tj Canada to provide and colorful winter protection XXX FEARS KILTS The Tailor and last word on matters sartorial has an article in the current edition which warns the Scot to look to his kilt in view of the new popularity of tartan Otherwise it says the United States is going to make the Scottish tional costume extinct by cule The writer a Roger West de- scribed as an unbridled con- whose opinions don't always mesh with those of the editors refers to a little ment called bonnle breeches unveiled recently hi New York and to a called the skill These apparently are aimed at the feminine market And if the kilt is going to be mucked about with by the fair sex it will fall into dis- repute and turn the Scots into which will be a pity not only for the makers but for the Scotland tourist Industry Switch to something like leather shorts he advises We can guarantee that no man worth her salt will want to take MX equality to the point where she has to lark about in leather breeches Leather is after all a very tough and material Edmonton 54 38 01 Calgary 50 41 39 Lethbridge 48 44 78
