World War 1 Scottish Kilt Apron. The kilt apron was first introduced after the Boer War to reduce the visibility of the kilt in the field. As well as camouflaging the kilt, they also helped to keep it clean in the field; the large amount of cloth in a kilt made it hard to clean once it was encrusted in mud. There are two distinct designs of kilt apron, a full wrap around design and a more simple apron that only covers the front like this one. It is made of a light brown cotton drill in the form of a rectangle, with tapes for securing it at the rear. The front has a single patch pocket secured by a button. A name and service number is written on the back. Extremely rare original WW1 Scottish Kilt Apron in good used condition!
