I think that I havementioned that there would have been all sorts of variations in use, something I still stand by.

However I'm reading a book about the 9th Glasgow Highland Bn [HLI] in WW1: and quite clearly they show pictures of the apron going right round the kilt-so the back as well as the front is covered.

Last year I got a simple front-only kilt apron (WWII repro) off eBay. Today there is on eBay an all-around apron (also a reproduction.) http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...Files/s185.jpg

Or, you could just make your own kilt out of unbleached canvas (similar to a UK.) http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e7...les/dr06-1.jpg

It's a lot simpler to have a knock-around kilt than to cover up all that wool with another layer to hold in the heat!
