Depends on how far back you research. One of the oldest known paintings with Mongo Murray wearing a kilt had a puffy sleeved shirt. I'm sure it was all for glam as a part of the painting... but yes, nothing like the "Jacobite" shirts of today. I mean, in that period, most paintings were already completed prior to the face portion... so it may have been just a rendition of what the artist would have thought they would wear at the time. A recreation of a shirt from that period might have been a very long (down to the mid-thigh) wearing t-tunic with long sleeves that go just past mid-forearm.
