    Here is the first really good photo that I've seen showing how the kilt over-apron was worn.

    The waist on those kilts could almost function like a boxer's abdominal/kidney protector:

    Sandy,

    I love the photo featuring your father! This photo is also wonderful! I love their dress - look at the correct use of day plaids -definitely my cup of tea and what I try to emulate.

    Cheers,

    My apologies, Sandy. The various pictures were a bit confusing.
