Vintage 1920-30's Scottish Highland Games Style Gallery

Vintage Highland Games Scottish kilt style

This photographic style gallery showcases the traditional Highland games style that was prevalent during the 1920s and 30’s, highlighting the distinct attire and cultural significance of this vibrant period in Scottish Highland dress..

The Scottish Highland Games attire of the time prominently features traditional tartan, tweed, and sporran styles, drawing clear inspiration from historical Highland dress. However, it was thoughtfully developed to incorporate the evolving style trends and fashion sensibilities of the early 20th century, blending heritage with contemporary influences.

This timeless and classic combination beautifully highlights the rich and vibrant cultural heritage deeply associated with the Highland Games, while simultaneously embodying the elegance, grace, and enduring charm of that distinctive era.

At the House of Labhran, we proudly pay homage to these gentlemen’s vintage Highland dress styles, drawing deeply from the rich traditions and timeless elegance of the past. At the same time, we carefully look to historical influences for inspiration while designing bespoke pieces tailored for clients who possess a bold vision for the future.

In true Labhran spirit, we seek inspiration in those who were wrongly labelled rebels throughout history. Rebels, rogues, artists, activists, thinkers.
