Evolution of the modern kilt.

[Tobus]

In one of Matt Newsome's papers he states that kilts used to be fastened with pins http://albanach.org/articles.html?ht...asons_why.html and I am sure I have read somewhere that ribbon type tape was used to fasten kilts also (cannot currently find the reference though) Cheers

My memory may be playing tricks on me, but I think Peter (figheadair) has posted an article about a historical military kilt that indeed used a ribbon tape method of holding it closed.
