    They were wearing rectangular plates hanging from a gurdle-like thing that had bronze buckle things across it. Under that would be a tunic like garment, so the plates and the tunic together had a box pleat like look to it. It was very interesting looking. This has also influenced my taste in kilts and I find myself liking the larger wider pleats on the box pleated kilts and the casual pleates, keeping in mind I'm having to see this all in my mind, te he.
