    Aye, but you have to admit that Connelly looked good in a kilt!

    I'm still not certain if that is a buckle or a kilt pin. I have to admit the placement for a kilt pin is odd, but then so would be a buckle. I wish the plaid was not obscuring the side of the kilt!

    I wonder if Matt Newsome has ran into any Victorian era kilts having such "modesty" buckles (as one Xmarkser put it) on them in his studies?

    John Brown / Victorian Dress

    I thought the original post'er (is that correct?) of this thread would like to see some period Victorian photos of John Brown in his everyday wear.











    I couldn't resist:

    Sure, the original poster (as in ME) is interested in Victorian Scottish wear. John Brown pictures are a fine example.

    Thanks!
