Fraser Ross catalogue 1920s

[Tobus]

I also noticed with interest that the kilts shown are only pleated to the stripe, not to the sett. Are there any other depictions you know of from that era that would show otherwise, Richard?

Maybe, done with the black & white printing (& paper used) in mind. A decision made for visual appeal, ease of doing the drawings,??

Trouble is, kilts are usually seen from the front in photos etc. With so little of the kilt's pleating visible I'm not sure if we can tell.

Peter probably knows the timeline of when to-the-sett pleating became popular for civilian kilts (it never took hold in the army).
