1900 Seaforth kilt, plaid, hosetops

[OC Richard]

I've never seen this before, a set of kilt, plaid, and hosetops all stamped with the soldier's service number, as issued to the soldier, placing the items in 1900.

For myself, a student of Highland military uniform, the most interesting part is seeing the details of construction of the type of plaid worn by Other Ranks in Full Dress. This is today usually called a "drummers plaid" though in fact it was issued to all soldiers.

Here is the Other Ranks plaid being worn; as you can see there is no fringe, and it is not worn with a brooch or pin, but tied with ribbon to the shoulder, or having a cord loop that goes on the epaulette button.
