Kilt History
The oldest clothing that we know for sure that our ancestors wore is the Lenie & Brat and this combination is VERY OLD, literally pre-historic. This is nothing more or less than a T-tunic and a blanket. We call this: feilidh-mhor, or Great Kilt.
The Scotish regailia we know today is BEST described as Victorian as the outfit, as civillian formal clothing, is pretty much from about that time period.
Modern Kilts like the Utilikilt have evolved in places like the USA/CND/OZ where most modern Scots live. There is a Goth Kilt which is co-evolving as well in the UK/GE/US and wheather we like it or not is a modern Kilt.
Because we need to specify between them we have the option of saying "Ancent,Victorian and Modern" or "Big, little and Modern"
What do you guys think?
