I saw an ad on Craigslist offering "kilts" for $10.00 along with other "antique clothing". I sent a message to the seller asking for more detail and pictures. The seller lives in Denver (about 2 hours drive for me). I don't want to drive up just to say "no thanks" to some nasty moth eaten woman's skirts. But, I don't want to let done vintage wool kilts for $10 get away.

I got an email and pics. Here is his description:

"2 skirts are plaid with pleats in them.

1) brown "Laird Portch of Scotland" on the tag. US size 8. It had a black belt that is somewhat adjustable. 2 straps.

2) black, red, and green. "Moffat Woollens" on tag US size 10. Also has black belt that is adjustable. 2 straps

3) matching jacket and skirt. Brown speckled fabric (maybe gaberdene). "Moriarty Textiles" on tag. US Size 12 has belt only, no straps. zipper in back of skirt."

Here are the atached pics:







Ok, so the third one is obviously a woman's skirt and I have no interest in that. The other 2 appear to be kilts. I see a kilt pin in each. I'm a bit thrown off by the "size" on the tag. I don't know why a man's kilt would have a woman's size tag.

The pics look like these garments have a narrow waist and are a bit longer than knee length based on the ratio of waist to length (know what I mean?)

Are these kilts? Is $10 the steal of the century? Or.... is this just some old wool plaid skirts?

Also, I have no idea what size 8 & 10 translate to. I have a 41" kilt waist and a 24 1/2" length. Would these even come close to fitting?

So, rabble.... Let the games begin...
