    An elderly acquaintance of mine found that the front apron of his kilt had been attacked by moths. His wife, a retired interior designer who is very skilled with fabrics, successfully swapped the under apron for the damaged front apron.

    Reversing the apron was/still is common practice in this situation in the highlands and provides a new lease of life for many a kilt. Don't believe me? There is a super picture of the late Lord Lovat wearing a kilt with a reversed apron and a rather battered tweed jacket that appears here on occasion.
