One of two children’s kilts with bodices owned by Heather White and Sandra Hooker (nee White). The Fletcher Jones kilts were made in the 1960s and are in two different tartan designs. They were designed to be lengthened as the children grew by adjusting the hem of the bodice. An original clothing tag (NWM-9154) features a poem about this, which was greatly treasured by Sandra as a child. Three sisters, Sandra, Heather and Melinda, all had kilts as children growing up in the 1960s on a sheep farm near Torquay. The kilts were worn on special occasions, with woollen jumpers worn on top of the bodices. Photos show Heather (aged 8) and Sandra (aged 6) with their younger sister Melinda (aged 1), wearing the kilts at family farms “South Beach” and “Lambidgee”, both near Torquay, in 1965. The kilts were purchased by the children’s grandmother, most likely from Fletcher Jones in Geelong, and were highly valued by the family.

This is a sample of the material used for the kilts of the members of the Warrnambool and District Pipes and Drums. It was provided by Fletcher Jones and Staff Factory in Warrnambool. Warrnambool and District Pipes and Drums was originally founded as the Warrnambool Pipe Band in 1906 with the objective of popularizing Scottish music. Later this objective was altered to include the fostering of bagpipe music. The band’s tartan was firstly the Gordon tartan then the Cameron of Erracht tartan and today it is the Anderson tartan. Since its formation the group has won many State Titles and has performed well also at national competitions including winning the Grade 2 Australian Championship in 1992.
