Third Buckle/Strap

[Ian.MacAllan]

But it's a resurrection of an American style of kiltmaking, yes? . . .

If the "kilt from the 79th New York Cameron Highlanders" which Matt mentioned is indeed the only precedent from which he took the practice then I must agree with you, Tobus. I had thought the precedent was an older Scots' kilt but I may well be mistaken about that. Thanks for raising the point.

To an American, applying the term "innovation" to a mid-19th-century event seems ridiculous, but to someone raised in a culture which still calls an 11th-century creation "the New Forest" it may well seem inevitable.
