More often than not, Jamie wore a traditional Scottish kilt with a red tartan. He was often teased for continuing to wear his kilt, even in situations where it was too cold to wear it.

([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Prison in Space (audio story)|Prison in Space]]'') He and the Doctor also dressed as washerwomen with wool padding while smuggling King James II into a rowboat.

When Jamie cleaned himself up after living rough in the ducts of Space Station Camera, the [[Sixth Doctor]] bluntly suggested to Jamie that he perhaps could use a bath more often in general.
