    This is the kilt I found at the American Veterans Thrift Store (AmVet) a couple weeks ago. Doing research to learn about it lead me here to this fine forum. The hubby and I really enjoy thrift store shopping, it amazes us to see the things people discard.

    It was a good bargain and then it was half off the tag price day, so it was a great bargain! Twenty dollar plus tax out the door.

    I agree with Dress Macdonald. What's the size? Can someone wear it? Right size and you could make a healthy profit on it here among us cousins IF you wanted to...
