Good find, Peter! Please tell us more. Is this your photograph of the actual kilt, or did you rather find the photograph? I'm extremely interested in the provenance behind this. Military?
One thing I note is that the box pleats seem to be pleated to the black line on the green, then shift to the double black on the blue about half way through. (There is actually one off-center pleat in the middle).
I note, too, that the top waist band extends beyond the edge of the kilt itself, so I am guessing that it was used as some kind of fastener. That would also explain its presence, as all of the early tailored kilts I have examined have been selvage to selvage.
What are the apron edges like? No fringe? Self-fringe?
I'm very interested in seeing more!
