Great Kilts

[TheOfficialBren]

That is what I want to avoid at all costs. I work our clan tent at regional games and do a lot of history talks and wish to be as authentic as possible.

To be completely honest, then, as an acqiauntence and a gentleman, given that you do NOT want it to look like a costume I (personally) would just wear my usual kilt.
However, given that it's an example of living history, I would look for a specific era and nail that down. Stick to that era. Great kilts were worn from about 1550-1746(ish). That's a LONG span of time and trends to draw from.
Let me ask you: which era interests you the most?

Your approach might be different, though. I have no idea what is normally expected at your usual events.



Kiltedrennie, good stuff. Totally fitting there since everything is a bit anachronistic at Ren Fairs and it's more about having a good time than educating the masses.
