New kilt in an older style
I received a package on the 15th. This has been in the works since the early days of the pandemic. Isaac H Walters has been an absolute dream to work with. From a mistake in the weave to getting that fixed to being just crazy enough to understand my vision and enable it to come to reality. All I can say Isaac is thank you for everything. This outfit was inspired by the Highlanders of Scotland by Kenneth MacLeay specifically from Hugh Graham. I am absolutely over the moon about this.
it is as close as I could come to an original outfit from the era, from the jacket and waistcoat dating to 1894, the sporran from 1911, the Gairloch pattern hose dating from 1847 to the modern reproduction 5 yard box pleated kilt and plaid in Graham of Mentieth tartan in WoB colours with a herringbone selvedge. Again I am very happy with the results.
