I've seen these in historical photos, but I've never seen one in person or seen a photo of a new one "spread out". Since the WPG site doesn't have a photo at all, is there someone out there who could post a photo of one of these laid out so I can see how they are constructed? I'd love to make one for myself.

| | | Kilt Apron
So How did it go?
OP did you get a hold of a kilt apron?
Pictures?
I have been thinking of one either a front only style or a wrap around... leaning toward the prior. It seems like it would be a great idea to protect the kilt form possible food and what not when I go from up front to behind the scenes and back again.
How did it go? or Did it go yet?
peace,
justin

I recommend a bistro apron http://www.happychefuniforms.com/800...4&Ref=Category. Any standard kitchen apron will do me for cooking though.

This thread raises a question that I hope Cajunscot can answer.
I have seen pictures of two styles of khaki kilt apron: one that covers only the front, which seems to have been in use during the Boer War, and one that goes right around.
The right-around variety is mentioned on one of the links mentioned above as having been issued from 1914 to ’40.
So can it be said with certainty that the front only one is a Boer War innovation, and the all-way-round one a First World War innovation?
Regards,
Mike

I seem to remember (but I can't remember where at the moment) a comment being made that the Boers were able to use the uncovered pleats of the Jock's kilts as a target when the Highlanders were lying prone, so hence the change in the apron in time for the First World War.
