You know, I think this book might be the one: The Cutters’ Practical Guide to the Cutting and Making of all kinds of Trousers, Breeches and Knickers, to which is added chapters dealing with The Cutting and Making of Highland Kilts, Leggings, Gaiters. 😆
If this book doesn't have a word or two to say on the subject, I'm not sure what kind of book does!
