Thought I'd put these up. They were sent in regards my statement that the current saffron colour for kilts was created by the Irish Regiments in the British Army. I still may be right.
These are 2 kilts held in a museum in Ireland, both being "saffron", circa 1905, from St. Enda's Scool. No, I'm not gonna get into whether or not the irish kilt is "old" (although 125-150 years seems old to me), or anything like that. Just thought you gents might be interested.
First pic shows the 2 kilts in question. See if you can spot something "strange" about them.
The second pic shows an under-apron pocket, which was standard on these kilts. I have another, but won't post it, but shows they were machine sewn.
