6.5 yard box-pleated Cameron kilt

I can help with the remaking question but I'd have thought it possible.

The material is typical Cheviot type cloth used for military kilts c1900-60. It's possible that this is annex-army kilt.

I wore a kilt like that back in cadets in high school in the sixties. The Pipe band wore MacGregor and the other ranks wore Cameron kilts. The pocket on the flap appears to be made from a hose top. There were hundreds of these floating around at the army surplus stores in Ontario at that time. Cameron Highlanders of Canada no doubt.

It's Cameron Erracht, the Chief-approved "alternate" tartan to the better known Cameron Modern (orange and green). It makes a gorgeous kilt. I have no knowledge of how to do the repairs** but I deeply hope this one can be returned to wearability. Its history will make a wonderful story to tell with it, too. Good luck.
