post 1900 history of Highland attire?

This web article from the STA has some interesting depictions of Highland attire from the 1920's - 1940's. The colour images on the right are similar to the fashions depicted in a wee book in my library, The Scottish Tartans, circa 1945 -- and that was the revised edition!

Interesting illustrations, especially as the shops have nearly all long since gone out of business. The sad thing is I can remember a lot of them.
Here are illustrations from the 50's from a catalogue of Stewart Christie & Co. in Edinburgh a very long established firm and one still very much in business. I believe they donated a pattern book which can be viewed in Edinburgh Castle.






Both my Prince Charlie and Montrose were made by them as were two kilts.

Yes and castellated hose with tied garter flashes. Presumably the sgian dubh was through the garter flash
