EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1879, showcases Advert, Haig & Vince, a renowned Highland Costume Makers and Juvenile Outfitters, located at The Scotch Warehouse on Oxford Street in London. The image reveals a vibrant scene within the establishment, where traditional Scottish attire, specifically kilts made of woolen tartan fabric, are being meticulously crafted. The company, consisting of partners Advert, Haig, and Vince, were not only masters of their craft but also merchants of yarn and hosiers. Their expertise extended beyond adult garments, as evidenced by their designation as juvenile outfitters. This meant they catered to the sartorial needs of young clients, ensuring that the next generation could also experience the richness of Scottish heritage through their clothing. The interior of The Scotch Warehouse is filled with an inviting atmosphere, as workers diligently weave, sew, and measure fabric. The warm, natural light filters in through the large windows, casting a soft glow on the intricate patterns of the tartan fabric. The shelves are lined with an impressive array of colors and textures, each roll of tartan waiting to be transformed into a unique piece of Scottish attire. The 1870s Victorian era was a time of great interest in Scottish culture, and Advert, Haig & Vince's establishment was a testament to this trend. Their commitment to preserving and promoting traditional Scottish costume, particularly among the younger generation, made them a significant player in the fashion industry of the time. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Scottish costume making during the late 19th century.
