Highland Dress at Court, etc..

Does anyone know anyone at the V&A Museum? This may qualify as "should conserve".

Answered some questions I had, especially the back flaps overlap treatment details.

Incredible! Too late, but the Fashion and Textile Museum in London would have loved that costume for a recent exhibition (now over):

Thx very much Gerry. It may be over but contact data is still there. Here's two more for viewing. I'll step back with more time and extract the photos before cbay removes them from their databases.

I pulled three photos that shows the back flap treatments, which is important I think. I've never seen the overlap flaps like on the very early pieces.

I was thinking about hacking into an old tweed to copy this, but now am thinking the multi-splits more authentic. It's hard not to look a prat in a kilt unless properly kitted out.
