Cangooner is correct ....... back in the times whatever the weaver had on hand as far as wool and pattern was what was offered to the locals. If that village happened to be full of a certain clan then that's about as close to clan tartan as you would've gotten. There was a huge rush to invent official clan identity after Victoria lifted all the bans. I can't speak for Scotland but I know there are some over there that are hardcore about their kilts and identity. Bless'em. Irish and Welsh gotte'em too I just know it. As for the rest of Scotland...up to them what they want to do with their identity. But just for the sake of arguments.....if they want to get rid of the kilt,I'll take it cause it's a fine garment.The only way you're gonna keep it alive it to do so.

I'm off for a bit now, but before I go, I'll just add, I’m all for the Kilt, and as far as traditional Welsh dress goes, it was a 19th century invention based on farmers wives field clothing. All well and good, as that seemed to have taken off, and it was in aid of national identity, but the ‘traditional’ dress invented for men, in particular for the rich mining magnates, wife’s, harpist (it was the wife that did all the 'inventing' of traditional dress) never took off, and was a bit of a mish mash at best. I’m all for re-inventing the Welsh men’s costume and having a Kilt as part of the ensemble. Maybe I ought to write to the Welsh Assembly and have them put it to the vote
. The Kilt would be just as valid as the rest of the traditional dress worn by Welsh women. :0

I am going to revive this thread..
Im thinking about getting a kilt.
actually... i am going to get one, its just cost will dictate when.
I found the perfect wardrobe for me on USA Kilts
but its going to be about $300, for me that is a small fortune.
Casual Pub Package | USA Kilts | USA Kilts
It doesnt show the selections i made.. but they end up adding $100 to the price tag.
After shipping and all that, it will be about $300 XD
I chose the Irish American print,
Celtic Knot buckle
Rob Roy Day Sporran (w. sporran chain instead of hangers)
Shamrock Kilt Pin
Lewis Hose in Black
Tartan Flashes (matching)
Highland Shirt (Black)"What goes around, comes around"
I was done a favor by "Bill3152" and would like to pass it on to anyone in need
If your in need, id love to help

If it's a proper quality material kilt then that sounds like a bargain. Originally Posted by DualNature
