The Ghillie Shirt

[The Q]

The nearest piece of clothing worn normally today would be the Fishermans / Carpenters / farmworkers Smock. Generally worn over a shirt. But pulled over the head the same way as a ghillie shirt. They are longer than most tops covering down to sporran level. They come with round or collared necks and are mostly made of some sort of cotton twill. I've not seen any with a draw string collar.

I guess they are most probably a more direct decendant of the leine..

The nearest I can find at the moment the red-ish one down below..

In this part of the world, some loggers wear an item colloquially named a "hickory shirt." It's sort of the shirt version of a pullover or anorak, with a neck zip that doesn't go all the way down. Altogether, pretty good for keeping sawdust out of your pants.

"Hickorys" are practical, hard-wearing apparel, though I suspect that wearing a U.S.-style logging shirt with a kilt would cross a few people's wires -- kinda like wearing your kilt with cowboy boots, or a fedora.

Cheers,
