Anderson 1936 catalogue

**OC Richard** · 10th July 12, 05:55 PM

It took some time but I've scanned nearly all of my 1936 William Anderson & Sons catalogue.

The illustrations and price lists are cool, but to me the most interesting portions are the articles discussing what is "correct" especially the article on Court and Wedding attire.

"Kilt Drawers"...well, that ought to take a bit of the wind out of the sails of the commando crowd...

Indeed. In fact, I thought the comment on pg. 24 was interesting: "Most men like to wear kilt drawers, especially in the evening." So.... Being that I'm like "most men," the next time someone asks me whether I'm wearing my kilt "traditionally"

I can smile confidently and reply, "Aye!"

Only in the evening, Jim.

Thanks for posting that. I love seeing how prices have changed, but the gas tank analogy John made is pretty good. Diced hose and gas in the UK are both pretty dear I guess!

There's an Anderson catalogue which appears to be the same as the one I posted, on Ebay right now, just a heads-up if anyone is interested in getting into the vintage catalogue collecting thing...
