1790's Gordon Highlander's Box Pleat Kilt.

[Luke MacGillie]

The kilt was on display in Edinburgh in the collection of the United Services Museum when Bob Martin photographed it, I was with him. The museum is now the National War Museum.

Interestingly it is not listed in their online catelogue but I assume that they still have it. I know the curator so will ask the question.

The material is Wilsons, full width (selvedge to selvedge), the yellow stripe is silk and the blue is actually their purple.

Good Deal, Thank You,

There is that photo repository website, dont have it at hand right at the moment, but it has all the detailed views that do not show up on the NWM website, its searchable by collection number.
I am most interested in how the pleats are sewn, running vs backstitch ect
