Hello, this Is my First post,

Apart from my interest in everything scottish , i am also interested in late 19th century -early 20th century fashion.

I have very recently bought a nice pair of vintage military trews from.the 1940s and It Is striking how the military trousers at such a late date are basically of the same pattern of victorian and edwardian period, save of course for some minor details.


Thus i have suddenly realized that i have never seen on period photos, a civilian usage of trews for highland dress. I mean, wearing a clan tartan trews as a alternative for kilt,.

So, were tartan trews used only by scottish regiment?

Do we have period photos that shows the use of clan tartan trews in civilian use as a sostitute for the kilt?
