It is just as you see it in the pictures...
So, jacket on its own and no weskit.
If you're interested, I am open to offers.
To have a similar jacket made new, in a similar quality cloth, I...

You're absolutely right.
So much of what we now think of as right and correct in the way of categories and classifications, style and modes, was unknown a generation or so ago.
This image of...

I suspect the tassel has been made in the way shown in the attached picture - the hair tied onto a cord, folded over and tied again to give it form and bulk.
If I were making the tassel in your...

Do these pictures help..?
It is a London Scottish OR sporran from the 1914-18 war era, and the construction appears to be the same as that on a c1890 of the same style that I have, and also of...

I was there...
And immediately spotted it was something new. My mates on either side of me spied the king through binoculars, but none of us three could identify it.
We guessed that it was the...

Your poor mother...
All bombs and bawling babes turning up too early.
What a war she had..!

Wow, Jock, I'm impressed..!
I was told babies were brought by the stork.
Now I've got images of an H111 with its bomb-bay doors open, and a wee Jock babe tumbling earthward.
Lucky your mum...

You might be onto something there, Jock...
But we can forgive The McNab all or any of those things, because that splendid tweed he's sporting forgives all misdemeanors..!
Well, in my book...

Amongst my stash of new-old-stock items, I have a couple of unused brown leather and chrome chain-straps that came with an auction lot of 1950s gear. I think the straps are of that era, or possibly...

It comes as shown - to take a normal clip-on chain-strap.
The D-rings are attached to a tab that has been passed through the strap panel, and so can be easily slipped out if an all-leather strap...

I am selling my own-made 'vintage' leather sporran fitted with a heavy cast-pewter cantle.
The bag is well-figured with an 'aged' pattern grain, and is line with a velvet-like doeskin to...

I have for sale a vintage (with the past 30 years) dress-sporran, with an unusual black-white-grey mottled bovine-fur front, in excellent (almost like new) condition.
I would like £87.50 (approx'...

I am selling my own-made vintage-style 'Jacobite' square-top sporran in crocodile-effect bovine leather, with polished brass domed studs.
It is lined with another 'aged' cow-hide to compliment the...

I am selling a vintage Prince Charlie doublet by the respected Highland dress retailer, R.R.Henderson of Stirling.
It is very difficult to date this doublet, but my guess is 1960s-70s, judging by...

This must be a good example of why warnings are given about how different devices display colours.
The bonnet is distinctly dark blue - something very obvious in sunlight - but is quite a dense...

Pictures of my LS bonnet...
I am uncertain of the date, but the dates between which the Scouts operated as a distinct unit is well-known. In the post-war...

It was only during a visit the The Highlanders Museum at Fort George some years ago, that I discovered the bonnet that I had been wearing for 30 years or more was a genuine Lovat Scouts' issue. ...

I have often thought it a fun idea to rummage through The King's wardrobe so see just what is there, as he must have a considerable stock of items once belonging to his father, grandfather, and...

This is interesting to see.
He and the other Royal men had been in morning-coat previously, going into uniform as protocol and ceremony demanded.
I wonder what made The Princess Royal opt for...

Have you tried getting the regimental museum in Perth to give information..?
They are usually pretty forthcoming and helpful.
Incidentally, military historians note that dicing on the...

Colonel David Stewart of Garth's 'Sketches' of 1822 is always a prime reference, as he details the regiments as they formed, how the uniforms differed, and what action they saw during the period you...

Other garment sizes are usualy not helpful when it comes to getting a kilt to fit properly.
It should be remembered that the kilt is worn higher and tighter on the body than trousers - especially...
