Interesting view on kilt fashion

Hi guys..

A few days ago I bought this...
"Tartans and Highland Dress" by Mackinnon from 1960

It contains some very nice drawings of different styles.
And I got some interesting new ideas of how the kilt was worn 50 years ago...

For example: It is recommended to wear an Argyll jacket - which seems to have been a newer style at that time... he calls it Dress kilt jacket - with a jabot....

Sorry for the blurred picture

I think it looks very well...better than with PC jacket.

Also interesting hints on hose and sporran use...
And a kind of combination overview in table form.

May I suggest someone who has a flat bed scanner do a review of this book in our "Library" section.

Let our other members have a peek at some of the content and perhaps give your impression of the book.

We all like to hear about different books to fill out our libraries.
