Could you imagine if they had access to a lighter material UtiliKilt back then?!!! Ooooooo.... ahhhhhhhh!

Gawd, I LOVE these kilt history lessons!!!
I think that the front only khaki aprons had less to do with "priorities" than the expectation that the enemy would never see the back of a Highlander.
i.e. no retreating and no expectation of a Highlander having to crawl in the dirt under fire.
