Ok....I know this will be regarded as a 'blasphemy' by many (if not all) but I wonder if the idea of some type of trousers under a kilt is seen as acceptable (at least in theory) by some here.


I like to look at many ancient male clothing ideas ... the Viking and Anglo-Saxon (and most males of various regions of that time) typically had some type of trousers, a long belted-tunic (usually to knee length or shorter) and some leg wrappings and I thought why couldn't some type of pants and even leg-wrappings be integrated into kilt-wearing.


Sometimes I question that kilts must be worn in a specific usual "traditional" fashion (althought I like that too ..... even though traditions themselves are often made 'concrete' from more vague and less controlled older times where what was worn was less controlled - such as particular tartans being precisely controlled and associated with clans after a previous time when people wore what fabric was available in their region and they liked).


Well, really, that being said, one could decide to wear trousers under a kilt if one liked and make up their own fashion and that's ok .... just wondering if anyone has thought about this or done this. I'm sure there would be many who would judge this to be wrong... but then again there are plenty of people who judge anyone wearing a kilt to be 'wrong' too ;-)


(partially this idea is prompted by the fact that winter is fast approaching. I am considering making a long knee-length tunic and trying out some viking/anglo-saxon type clothing for winter)
