I am on a quest~!

[Woodsheal]

J Charles Thompson describes it as being 'a piece of double width tartan (52 to 56 inches) and three and a half yards long, fringed at both ends' and describes how to fold it in his book 'So you're going to wear the kilt'

Oh! Well, that's big enough to belt on and wear! Private soldiers' issued plaids ("great kilts") in the early highland regiments were only 3 yards long.

I do like the look....
