From a sartorial point of view, this is an interesting study of the trews. It shows the method of tailoring, not now in use, in which each leg was made from a single piece of tartan, with only one seam running down the back, the cloth being cut on the bias. The plaid is detached and, although of the same tartan as the trews, is of a larger sett. McIan painted the doublet from one said to have been worn by Prince Charles Edward Stewart.
