Dark Green and White Tartan Kilt with Side Belt

Each item in our collection has a story, and we honour that history through careful evaluation. Below is a detailed description of the condition categories we use, so you’ll always know what to expect.

New with Tags (NWT):

A vintage (or second-hand) item that has never been worn and still retains its original store tag. It has not been worn, washed, or altered. Fabric, stitching, and finishes are in pristine condition. These are rare pieces that have been exceptionally preserved over time.

As New (AN):

Worn once or twice at most, with no visible signs of wear. The fabric remains crisp, the colours vibrant, and there are no flaws such as pilling, stains, or stretching. The overall appearance is indistinguishable from new, with original finishes and detailing perfectly intact.

Excellent (EX):

May show minimal signs of wear but remains in beautiful condition. Any signs of use are minor—perhaps slight softening of the fabric or barely perceptible signs of age. No damage, stains, or repairs. The piece looks clean, well-maintained, and is fully wearable without compromise.

Very Good (VG):

Shows light signs of wear consistent with its age, such as minor fading, pulled threads, or gentle fabric wear. Any flaws are subtle and do not affect the overall look or wearability. The structure remains solid, and all closures and details function perfectly.

Good (G):

These pieces have been worn with love and display more noticeable signs of age or use. They may have small stains, holes, thinning fabric, or previous repairs. All imperfections will be clearly noted in the product description. Full of character and history, they’re perfect for those who embrace the charm of well-lived vintage.
