Might be thread jacking a bit..

Given the nature of the black and white photo above it stands to reason that this could be the same material top and bottom.. which leaves me thinking it could be the old Irish "Leine". It looks as though maybe he's got it belted and then put on a shnazy belt atop of the whole kaboodle. That or it's a kilt and it's really really cold where this man lives *couldn't help meself*

Back to your originally scheduled post..

I think the leine is more like a long shirt. William Gibson appears to be wearing a solid colour kilt with a separate plaid.
