Heres the only known original 79th New York Kilt and Sporran. These pictures were taken and owned by Shane Miles.

KILT
  • 9" Military Set
  • Machine sewn
  • Pleated to the set
  • 2 cloth straps, one on each hip
  • Victorian Suspender buckles
  • Box pleated
  • Lined with a light cotton twill
  • Trimmed with black silk satin
  • Worn with braces (Suspenders)
  • Suspender button scars on kilt


SPORRAN
  • Functioning pocket
  • Burgandy kid leather facing
  • Leather Cantle
  • Fine example of 1850s leather work. (Stitches, quality, hair, ect)
  • Worn with a leather belt, not a chain.




Notice how imperfect the pleating is. These were not made by professional kilt makers.


A small triangle is missing from the corner of the kilt.


I'll slowly started getting good scans or original 79th uniforms and soldier images posted.
