 Not wanting to throw a monkey wrench into the works, or start a major flame
war, but here goes ....

I seem to recall seeing some very persuasive documentation that great kilts
were not worn in our period in Scotland.  I can't remember off the top of my
head where I saw it, but I could find it if you're interested.  Certainly,
the Victorian kilts (the ones with the pleats sewn in), which you can see at
modern Scottish festivals, are wa-a-ay post-period.

So, the point is, if you're planning to wear it at SCA events, you may want
to research it before you go spending money on it.

Okay, everybody.  Fire away!
