Whilst perusing eBay today, I came across this unique ensemble:

Everything appears fairly authentic to me and the set is actually in pretty decent condition considering its age. Not a bad find for those who are keen on wearing vintage Highland dress.

Na bean don Chat,

Yo! Present and accounted for!

Thanks for posting, mate.

OORAH! Unfortunately, not in the budget. The kilt might actually fit, if anything maybe a bit large.

Very nice looking kilt and outfit but even though it is vintage, at US$1250.00 I cannot see the value.
BTW, the vendor says that he measured the waist by folding the kilt in half (across top/when doubled), so the measurement of about 29" seems to equate to around a 37" waist.

Macintosh family ties here, so that outfit caught my eye last night!

If it fits, it's expensive, but not outrageous. To recreate the outfit would cost almost that much or maybe more since Chattan cloth is not typically stock. Given the outfit's WWI vintage, it seems reasonable.

Thanks for posting!

Clan Chattan tartan, in the ancient colour pallette, is a stock item in the Lochcarron strome range and stock in 13oz at House of Edgar. I would imagine that the whole outfit could be obtained brand new for under US$1000.00.

Hey - that would look good with at orange PC set in the private sale in Canada!
& I'm not just saying that because I'm a Davidson (sorta)...

Hey Kyle , When one clicks on the link , it takes to you the ebay page , then if you click above the seller's picture it takes you to the seller's original listing .

Once one gets to the seller's original listing , you can see the pics . If you click on the pics it takes you to the seller's Auctiva image hosting where one can see a better close-up of the items .

The service medal is definitely WWI , but all the garments and their leather look way newer , i.e. the kilt itself , kilt straps , buckles, waist liner , sporran and straps , etc .

I'm wondering if the seller maybe had a vintage outfit of some other decade ( perhaps 70's ) and with the prescence of a WWI medal , perhaps thought the entire outfit was WWI . The seller claims limited knowledge .

Once I seen the pics , it kind of made me " scratch my head " . What's your take ? Am I off base here ?

Cheers , Mike
