Hmmm. . .where is that portrait we've seen of what appears to be a drawstring with a belted plaid, and how high does the string appear to be?

See Fig 6 in this paper. It looks to be at the natural waist which is where I'd expect it to be from a practical perspective.

The one wool kilt I currently have is Douglas weathered.

As a proud member of Clan Douglas, I had not seen the Weathered version in person until this year at Grandfather...and it was immediately bumped to the top of the list for my next wool purchase, whenever that may be. If only it were offered in P/V along with our Modern and Ancient palette...

And this is a kilt in progress that I'm working on, in the Douglas Weathered tartan...

I understand how a weathered tartan might have been used as a prop but that really is an anachronism. The Douglas tartan started life as one of Wilsons' numbered patterns, in this case No 148, that dates from the early 1800s. Weathered tartans are a mid-29th century fashion.

Futuristic tartans, they are!

Quite right, in the 1740s there were no "clan tartans" yet.
Weathered tartans are a mid-29th century fashion.
.
I think it's wonderful that they're going to be so popular!
