The Kilt's use in Irish Nationalism

[hkjrb623]

I was responding to MacSpadger's post. While OT, I think that this discussion is worthwhile.

I believe that HKJRB623's reference to "the Irish" also refers to "Americans of Irish-descent in America", although I hope he'll chime in and clarify.

My contention is that most Americans are wholly unaware of Padraig Pearse and the use of the kilt in Irish Revivalism. Most Americans who discover XMarks seem to be unaware of this, as well, and have some vague notion that the early Irish wore the kilt in the current, Scottish manner.

Cordially,

David

Irish-American is what I meant. Sorry for not clarifying.
