    secret code

    I am getting to be an old man, but I remember the introduction of ZIP codes - in 1963. The label has a zip code, therefore it can't be any older than 50 years old. I use that as a handy check. Of course, it could be a lot newer.

    AFTER FURTHER CHECKING, it is not actually a USPS Zip Code. I can't find any place in the US with the zip code 14262. However, there appears to be a place called TARTANTOWN in Port Coquitlam, BC, where the OP lives. Perhaps the proprietors could explain the significance of the 5 digit sequence. Any help from North of the Border?

    Finally, "old" is a relative term. I believe we can agree the kilt was probably made after WWII, but probably before the beginning of the 21st century. To most of us, that means it is "modern" if not quite new. But to a person born in 1986, when I last darkened the door of an institution of higher learning, something made in 1960 might well be "old".
