Khaki Kilt Apron
https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWI-WWII-Sc...MAAOSwsa1bdKHt
Spotted this khaki kilt apron on Ebay today. I thought this might be a place to post this for those interested.
My first impression of these aprons was that they look an awful lot like contemporary utility kilts with the solid color and the pocket up front. I know that these were used in World War I and they began to phase them out around the start of WWII.
Here is an article: http://antiqueoutings.com/kilt-apron...rs-of-ww1-ww2/
It seems that there are two main types. A true kilt apron that only covered the front half of the kilt, and a full wrap around variety with pleats in the back.
I had never seen these before, but you guys may have. I just thought it was interesting.
