In 1950 my father-in-law paid £7:10/- (£7.50 or $14.65) for a Montrose doublet - this is it today 57 years later!



At the same time he bought a kilt for £7:15/- (£7.75 or $15.14) which I had altered to fit and wear to this day. He also bought the jabot you see in the photo for the princely sum of 8/6d (42p or 82 cents) full tartan hose for £1:17/6 (£1.80 or $3.52) which I still wear with the kilt but wait for it - he had to pay £3 ($5.86) for a leather belt and £3:12/6 (£3.65 or $7.13) for a sporan.
