Kilts on eBay

[Hamish]

kepp looking on e-bay ...I found a great buy on there awhile back( by awhile back I mean 4 years ago ) but then I didnt have internet for a long time so now I'm looking again

I got a 22oz military( gordon highlanders ) kilt , a prince charlie jacket, sporran, spats , ghillies, diced "half" hose( no feet so you can wear regular socks under them) and a glenngerry w/ the gordon highlanders badge on it for $500 so it IS possible to find great deals ...just keep looking!

I always found it helps to broaden you search ....dont just type "Kilts"
type scottish kilts , bagpipes , kilt accessories ect ...you may find more stuff !

hope this helps

yours

Scott,

Please don't tell me that you wear spats with a Prince Charlie? Spats are part of a military uniform and the Prince Charlie most definitely is not! To be honest, you really should only wear spats if you are a piper dressed in the full military dress rig.

Of course, I am thinking of white spats here, not neutral or khaki ones that might be worn when hiking in the country. Please: no spats of any kind with a Prince Charlie ...... please!

I bought a kilt pin from Thump Music and got it just fine. However, it's pretty hard to ruin a kilt pin.

I said I GOT em ......never said I WORE em!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
no the only time I wore spats with my kilt is when I played pipes with City of denver ! I learned quickly about the "sleeping with you spats on " as the end of the night .....i couldnt get the buttons undone ...( remember I said that the whole kit was from the early 50's ...no velcro on these puppys!)

the only reason I listed everything was to show that there ARE good deals on E-bay ...you just have to be patient .....and look carefully

Scott,

You played with the City of Denver Pipe Band? We definetly have to talk. Know several former members, and possibly present.

Hi,
Yeah, there ARE deals on eBay. I just got a military issue Gordon Highlanders, in amazing condition for £46 / $82. I know it was a fluke, because most seems to start at £90, but it's older, and a smaller size (28"-31"). On the other hand, it fits me like a glove. :smile:

.. a smaller size (28"-31"). On the other hand, it fits me like a glove. :smile:..

With a waist that size, you could consider some of the ladies kilt skirts, except that they crossover and buckle the wrong way.

Hmmmh, haven't seen a 31" in..... let's see, this is 2005, currently at a kilt size 41", maybe I don't want to know. The answer is certainly longer than I want to think about, although at 6' 3" now, I can't really expect to be that close to 30". I'm not Gumby or Gilligan you know!
