    Here are nice views of traditional British military kilts showing the high military rise, traditional green herringbone binding, stamped metal two-prong buckles, and lack of fringe.

    Further back in time and the evidence appears to show that military kilts were the full width of fabric regardless of wearer's height

    The new Royal Regiment Of Scotland kilts don't appear to have quite as high a rise as you would see 100 years ago
