Kilt Breeks/Breeches? Anyone recall this

[Jock Scot]

Thank you, Truitt.
In the UK, muslin is very thin and is generally used to filter off liquid e.g. in cheese or jelly making. I think what you describe we might call "calico". (Some ladies will now correct me on this!)

There we go Alan, I always thought it was a mistake letting those colonials swan off on their own. Just look at the mess they have made of our language!

Joking apart, I do wonder on occasion, as no doubt those from outwith these shores do too from time to time, how much unintentional damage to international relations these differences of interpretation cause.
