OC:

Here are a couple of photos of the stitched portions of the pleats on my USA Kilts Premiere kilt (which I like very much, btw):

Not sure if that's at all helpful, but here they are.

Cheers,

Thanks!

Those pleats look perfect, very much like the Gaelic Themes/St Kilda Kilts kilt I saw.

My J Higgins kilt's pleats are a bit wonky.

10 pounds for what appears to be a Scottish-made seal sporran, and waistbelt.

Unfortunately they don't show the back of the sporran which would tell us where it was made.

A few days to go and no bids, 57 pounds for Scottish-made kilt, sporran, Prince Charlie, Ghillies, sgian, dirk, belt, etc.

They don't show the back of the sporran but everything else appears to have been purchased from Lochcarron, and I'm assuming the sporran is by one of the Scottish makers.

Put in a bid. Will have the inlaws hold it until we visit them in Scotland again.

The bid price has doubled since your post, but for someone sized appropriately who wants to enter the world of kilt making, even THAT seems an amazing bargain. It even includes a Dirk and what I assume is a plaid brooch!

Shoes and jacket fit, didn't see a length for the kilt. I'm guessing it will double again at a minimum.

WE Scott fairly recent sporran with "G" cantle, looks like silverplate with quite a bit of the plating worn off.

The seller says "rabbit", I think it's a higher-grade fur.

$40 and here in the USA.
