Quick Kilt History Question

[The Wizard of BC]

While you can find quite a few entries on the web about Great Kilts the fact is that we simply do not have any definitive, historical description of what a Great Kilt was or how it was worn.

We do have good solid historical documentation of a universal garment from around the same period. It is the Matchcoat. While usually associated with N. America the use of a blanket as a multipurpose outer garment is found all over the world.

The Irish Leine and Brat would probably have been a very similar idea and concept.

If you would like to take a look at this I think you will find it very interesting.
