vintage kilt with drawers on Ebay
Many of you may recall that I've posted various vintage Highland Dress catalogues from the 1930s here on this forum from time to time.
It strikes us today as something of a curiosity that kilts, back then, were sold with "kilt drawers" of matching tartan wool.
Well, here's just such a set up on Ebay, a vintage kilt by the firm of Forsyth. The tartan is listed wrongly as you veteran tartan-watchers well know; it's not Cameron of Erracht, but rather the tartan given in The Setts of the Scottish Tartans as "Logan and MacLennan".

For those interested, here are a few pages from a vintage Forsyth catalogue

And here's a page from an Anderson catalogue of similar vintage showing the "kilt drawers" listing
