Nice looking kilt. It will probably look just as good in another forty years.

How many other articles of clothing would last so long?
It does say "boys" on the label so no wonder it's a little short now!

This is proof positive that a quality kilt will last a lifetime and longer, and look better than any other item of clothing of a similar age. You will be able to pass that one onto a grandson.
Kind Regards,
David.

What is just as impressive as the age of the kilt is the fact that you are the same size around the waist to still wear it. Brava!

It fits, but only on the last holes on the strap.

My first kilt is from Alex Scott and co. it was stitched up in 1950 for my dad, here it is on him 1950 Aberdeen, Scotland
And on me 2005 Whitby Ontario, Canada
Yes if you take care of it a well made hand-sewn Scottish kilt can and will last a lifetime, I've still got the sporran Dad wore in the above photo as well.

Since the kilt is a little short for me, I've been considering giving it to my nephew for Christmas. He's 11. 
Looks like I may be guilty of contributing to the kilting of a minor......

QVS identifies this kilt as having come from the Queen Victoria School, Dunblane. It is Hunting Stewart tartan.
