	Kilt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For Scotsmen, the kilt is usually worn with a Prince Charles or an Argyll jacket.
		The kilt is also used for parades by groups such as the Scouts, and in many places the kilt is seen in force at Highland games and pipe band championships as well as being worn at Scottish country dances and ceilidhs.
		The kilt has become normal wear for formal occasions, for example being hired for weddings in much the same way as top hat and tails are in England or dinner jackets in America, and the kilt is being worn by anyone regardless of nationality or descent.

	S & H History of the Kilt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It has been claimed that 'a man in a kilt is a man and a half' their really is something about the wearing of the kilt that confers extra stature on its owner.
		The kilt itself in its original form was a very basic garment which required neither the trouble of tailoring nor the frequent replacement which a pair of breeches needed.
		For ordinary wear the kilt may be made of tartan or tweed and may be box-pleated or knife-pleated (as are most); for dress wear it should be of the dress tartan of the Clan.

	It's Kilt Day!
		Kilts, as we know them, were adapted from 16th century Highland garments that are believed to have been heavily influenced by the clothing worn by the Vikings and Normans that conquered the British Isles in the 8th Century.
		The kilt and clan/tartan fashions became all the rage in the United Kingdom in the 19th century and many of the long held beliefs we have about these various "traditions" and the myths surrounding the wearing of the kilt and tartans were actually developed and concocted by non-Scots at that time.
		Kilted warriors defending their rights against trouser tyrants or a fierce Scottish Regiment in WW I? The fact is, it is not cross-dressing, nor should it be disruptive in a professional work environment.

	Kilt - Scottish Kilts - Irish Kilts
		The most popular kilt is made with 8 yards of the finest tartan wool and has three leather straps with buckle closures.
		Most kilts are made so that the sett (repeating pattern) of the tartan is reproduced in the pleats.
		Mercifully, the hemline of the kilt is not subject to the whims of French fashion.

		These original kilts were large long pieces of cloth, probably 28" wide which was the width of the looms in those days, and probably 7 or 8 yards long.
		A man's kilt today still uses normally about 8 yards of cloth and up to as much as 11 yards for a really big man. If the kilt is properly made, fits well and hangs well, the wearer is not aware of the weight of the cloth.
		The origin of the hoops was to allow the kilts of army officers to be hung from tent poles to reduce the creases.

	Making a kilt

		A kilt for a child with a waist measurement of 26 inches, using tartan with a 6-inch sett could be made with 2 to 2 ½ yards of tartan.
		The length of the kilt is measured from waist to mid-knee, adding 2 inches for a higher rise (waist) if a wide kilt belt is to be worn.

	A guide to wearing Kilts
		A kilt is an item of clothing worn strictly by men, whereas a tartan skirt is solely worn by women.
		A kilt differs from a tartan pleated skirt by a larger number of pleats, the amount of cloth used (approximately 8 yards), and the weight of the cloth.
		A kilt is simply a large piece of tartan material organised into an arrangement with 2 flat aprons at the front, and pleats to the rear.

		Women complain that skirts are cold in the winter, whereas a typical kilt worn with woolen kilt sox is relatively warm.
		Consequently, it is perfectly sensible for men to adopt kilts (or variations such as the Utilikilt) as their customary attire and let women wear the trousers.
		Any man interested in wearing a kilt or other MUG as regular attire (that is, outside of Scottish events or other special occasions) may feel intimidated by the fact that all the other men he sees are wearing trousers.

	The Early History of the Kilt
		People overly willing to sacrifice fact for their desire to date the kilt to antiquity jump at the fact that these men went barelegged and make the assumption that if they were not wearing trousers then they must have been wearing a kilt.

	Scottish Kilt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Following the Jacobite defeat at Culloden in 1746, the kilt and and other aspects of Highland dress were outlawed and its continued survival during these years was largely due to its adoption by Highland regiments serving with the British army.
		And although the kilt is typically regarded as being Highland dress, more kilts are now worn in the Lowland cities than in the Highlands.
		Modern kilts have up to eight metres of material which is thickly pleated at the back and sides, with the pleats stitched together only at the waistband.

	Braveheart Great Kilts
		Normally, you pleat the kilt each time you wear it, and the only thing that holds it together is your belt.
		There will be a row of stitches visible on the outside of the kilt, but these will be covered by your belt (a belt will still be necessary to hold your kilt on).
		NOTE – We will only use as much tartan as the kilt requires, so if your waist size is less than 50, and you select box pleats, your kilt will most likely be constructed of less than 4 yards of fabric.

	Kilt
		For instance, the kilt was at one time used as a metaphor for the political state of the nation.
		For instance, the Highland regiments in the late-eighteenth, through the nineteenth and in to the twentieth century, wore kilts and much was written of their participation in the Empire's expansion.
		The "kilt, the pipes, and the romantic version of Highland history", he writes, "came together in the image of the modern soldier as the direct descendant of the old clan warriors, steeped in martial glory."

		After the Rising of 1745, both the belted plaid and the kilt were worn by the Highland regiments.
		Originally, the kilt was worn in undress order only, but soon the belted plaid was deemed too cumbersome for combat and abandoned altogether.
		After pinching the sergeant’s skin, “thinking I wore something under my kilt,” Campbell lifted his kilt “so that he might not be deceived.” Ah, the wit of the Scots.

	History of the Scottish Kilt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Although the kilt is the most recognisable of the tartans, it also manifests itself in the form of trews (trousers), shawls, and skirts.
		During the eighteen hundreds, the wearing of the belted plaid began to be exchanged for that of the kilt.
		A "new", little kilt design became popular, and it consisted of a plaid which had the traditional pleats permanently sewn in place, and separated the lower from the upper half, allowing the upper section to be removed when it became convenient.
