Good for you Glassman, for correcting yoru misinformed teacher! I actually had a professor in college that (during a reading of Beowulf) tried to tell the class that round about the eighth century (or whenever the story was set) they wore plate armor that weighted 400 lbs, and in her next breath told us that their textile technology was very primitive so they wore mostly animal skins for clothes. I didn't have the patience at the time to get into it with her, so I just shook my head in disbelief.

Anyway, to further the point about the Middle Ages, the earliest documentation we have for the great kilt being worn is in 1594, so that's well past the medieval period. It is incorrect to call the kilt, in any form, a medieval garment.

Aye,
Matt
