What Goes with the Great Kilt?

[NewGuise]

1st off.... lets stop calling it a "Great Kilt."

Not to be contrary, but ... why? The cited article gives no cause for avoiding the phrase, which seems an adequate translation of feileadh-mor in parallel with the standard translation of feileadh-beag as "little kilt" - a translation found as early as 1746 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary entry on filibeg. I like the term "belted plaid" but have found that some folks, at least, think that means the piper's plaid worn under the crossbelt. No confusion with "great kilt."

If it bothers you that much, then the question is the same, what goes with a "feileadh-mor"? It's the same thing, a giant wrap-skirt that has so much left over, you can drape it over your shoulders!

I have made one out of a fine plaid, I don't think the plaid is "registered" -- perhaps I should simply call it a "JoAnn" Tartan since it came from JoAnn fabrics. However, I think I will call it a Miller Hunting Tartan!

At this point, it is too large, need to cut it down, way to much overlap at the shoulders. Overall length works (4 yards) and it actually looks damn authentic.

I have a rustic leather belt and a shirt which is perhaps authentic -- more or less. I plan to wear sandals, my preference would be barefoot, but I don't trust the grounds of the Ren Festival -- too much stuff discarded -- an yellow jackets -- they like to eat the discarded stuff.

I will post a photo soon. Thanks for all your help!
