Kilted in 18th Century
Hello dear kilted members.
Help me out here if you can, please!
Currently summer is coming up someday and I need to prepare for the starting re-enactment campaigns. We re-enact the living in the 18th century and I was hoping to dress up like a Scotīs man of the time. But here comes the problem:
I have managed to get the hold of knowledge what people in general wore that particular time period but when it comes to kilts I havent been as lucky. I have understood that particular clan tartans didnt exsist yet and that the tartans where much more simpler coloured. But what kind of tartan should I go looking for? two coloured or what?
Or will just lets say scottish style made long woolen blanket (with red base and black stripes) do?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards, Richard
