Finding Vintage Kilts - Why So Hard? How do you track down antique kilt accessories?

Описание

We will always advise that for best _wearable_ results, you should get a new kilt custom-made for you. However, once in a while you can strike gold when browsing the thrift stores. Rocky, Erik and Mac discuss why it is so hard to find kilts second-hand, and how to hunt for vintage kilt accessories.

When looking at antique Highland Dress, it is essential to have realistic expectations and a clear purpose. Do NOT assume that what you find is wearable. Often the fabric and leather are no longer serviceable. More importantly many items you may find, especially via online auctions, should be kept safe as historical artifacts and respected as such. Your mileage may vary, but in our opinion if you were to find a World War One era officer's sporran for sale, it would be more honorable to display it at home and pass it along intact for posterity than to add it to your wardrobe.

Some "vintage" items are of recent manufacture - such as used pipe band kilts. Others are survivors from important historical events and eras long gone - delicate repositories of stories that should be studied.

Just something to keep in mind.
