Original 92nd Kilt c1815

[figheadair]

In 2011 I started a thread about what I took to be The Original Kilt Style. That hypothesis was turned on it's head but the discovery of Lt Bramwell's uniform which contains a piece of tartan similarly constructed to the Sutherland piece but Bramwell's uniform also includes his kilt. It is now obvious that what I took in isolation to be a proto-kilt is in fact a early form, perhaps the earliest form of the Fly Plaid. It's likely that the Sutherland Fly Plaid was also military (93rd Regt) and that this is the 92nd uniform represents what was the standard kilt and plaid arrangement when the belted plaid was set aside.
