Guess that I didn't make clear what I was saying.
I was not saying that Pearse chose the "Irish Kilt" because it is "Historical Irish" dress in 1900. I think that has been gone over and over and over and....Nor was I indicating that "brownish saffron" was "Historical Irish" in 1900.

However, it has been over 110 years since the introduction of that "brownish saffron" as an "Irish Kilt". At this point in time, 2010, can it now be said that the "Irish Kilt" in "brownish saffron" is historical? How long does something have to be around to be considered "historical"?

And whatever your thoughts on Pearse are I still stand by my earlier comment of.
