I need advice for a kilt repair
Hi all
I would like some advice if possible
I have a Gunn modern kilt made by A&J Scott Co. of Aberdeen, (Now Alex Scott and Co.) it was handed down to me by my father. The problem is that it is at least 50 years old, and thus the straps have seen better days, also the buckle on the right side is broken and needs replaced, the left side is fine. The buckles on the kilt are a different style than those I have found offered today, my buckles are a double prong whereas any that I have found these days are of the single prong variety.
I would like to put the double prong style buckle back on the right side and leave the left side alone if possible, but I was wondering what you think, should I hold out and try to find a double prong buckle or do you think I would be further ahead getting the single?
I have sent an email to Alex Scott and Co. to see if they even offer the old style buckle.
Thanks in advance for your input.
