Okay...Here's one out of the blue...NON-Scottish Historical Kilts...

[TheOfficialBren]

When I was in college I was a History major (primarily Medieval studies but also Antiquity).

I was looking through some of my old books and came to something interesting about Ancient Egypt...

Look at the artwork, fellas!! They are wearing pleated kilts. They would have been made of linen but they are kilts in my book.

Like during the golden age of great kilting in Scotland noble and peasant alike wore a similar unbifurcared garment.

The pleats were gathered upward toward the waist rather than hanging down the back in the Scottish fashion. One could venture to suppose that the gathered material could be utilised to hold the odd item or two, not unlike the filleagh mor, or great kilt.

Of course, some Ancient Egyptians are clearly depicted in loincloths and still others in various robes but many were kilted.

Any thoughts on the subject from the rabble?
