Thrift store Campbell Ancient kilt with moth holes

[Dale-of-Cedars]

Walked with my better half over to vote in our civic elections today. A good opportunity to take the new kilt out of the freezer for a spin in our sunny (temporarily) 6*C weather. And I got to use the looong blue hose (had to fold the cuff over twice and it's still a bit high) that came with a batch I bought, but didn't think I'd ever need.

The front apron could do with a pressing:

The worst of the holes are in the kilt-pin area:

With a couple on the left side of the front apron:

And at least one hidden in the pleats:

But the pleating is very nice:

And the fabric has a very soft hand, but I'm not sure if it's even medium-weight, I'll have to weigh it and divide by 7 yards.
Still, not bad for $20...

For$20 you did amazingly well! Looks great!

Nice find. Wearing a $20 kilt with a few wee moth holes just makes you look even more Scottish (i.e. frugal).

I'd be tempted just to stop the fraying and leave it at that. The wee holes just add a bit of character!

Great find!

[NUist]

Can't go wrong for $20!

Hah, my mother's boyfriend the last decade of her life was a Scotsman and his favorite meal out was the $1 menu at McDonalds.

Looking good! I would fray check it and leave it be, if anyone questions the holes go off on a yarn about fighting off a bear/mountain lion/pack of wolves/flock of women and are lucky to get away with just a few wee holes.

Then completely change the tale each time somebody asks.
