Howdy all,

I'm gonna sound like a dweeb here...

In our buggy neighborhood, we draw on the style and substance of historical clothing for one good reason- it performed pretty well as a way to keep humans alive and comfortable. We began to make our Heritage Shirt in response to a groups of locals who asked for them as outerwear.

While our big billowy shirt has appeal for people with a renfaire/reenactment bend, I've actually only worn mine 3 times with a Kilt, and a great kilt at that. Is it perfectly appropriate? I doubt it. Is it historically correct? Heck no. Stainless Steel and snap fasteners weren't developed until the 19th century. Does it work? Yup- few bugs, less UV, really freeeking breathable. Do I dig great kilts? Yup- my next purchase of tartan will be dedicated to one for formals with a full doublet.

I'm partial to earth tone button down oxfords with my other kilts, not piracy.

I use my Heritage Shirt because I hate bugs, and my skin has spent too much time in the sun at altitude. When I feel saucy, I thrown on a pair of battered pants, moccasins, and wrap a Modern Douglas Tartan wool sash around my waist. That seems to clear people away on the sidewalks.

Cheers,

Kevin
