1790's Gordon Highlander's Box Pleat Kilt.

[Luke MacGillie]

Yes it seems to be a bad link, in the past I had been able to pull up a large number of objects from the NAM and other government museums by searching with the accession number. It usually had shots from various angles not just the normal frontal view that is part of many collections databases.

My Ect, means Etc, with transposed letters

I would love to read a conservation report full of museum jargon on this object, with information like how many stitches per inch were used to sew in the pleats, the color of the thread, any lining, was the top folded over or bound, all that type of information that could be used to make a documentary copy.

When looking at this kilt vs other civilian box pleated kilts from the late 18th to early 19th the size and number of the pleats seems to be much more than was the norm for civilian fashion from the one photo I can reference.

Have you read Bob Martin's comments on this kilt? I can't recall the colour of the thread used but the kilt uses the full width of the material with no fold or waistband and is unlined and uncut at the pleats.

I have not read Bob Martin's Comments, only information I have is from Matt's blog post.
