"[ABOVE] Hunting Lord of the Isles dress kilt ensemble. Sometime 1920-1935. The jacket is a corduroy doublet by Scholte, dated 10.11.38 Lord of the Isles was a titled bestowed upon DoW when PoW. The title was originaly assumed by the MacDonalds and was forfeited in 1493. Therefore the hunting Lord of the Isles tartan is based upon the general scheme of the [modern] MacDonald tartan."
"[ABOVE] Black and white houndstooth Harris tweed jacket and waistcoat. Dated 8.6.33, tailor's name not listed in catalogue."
