1st off.... lets stop calling it a "Great Kilt."

2nd..... Not to be mean or anything, but lets point out that those sleeveless kilt shirts are a play on what "Mel Gibson" wore in a certain movie and are not accurate.

To add to that shirt, any so called re-enactment group wearing that just plain makes me laugh. It's even worse when folks refer to them as "Spot on" in the area of historical accuracy. Actually, those groups are part of the problem for continuing the mass confusion on facts that so many people just plain have.

It's actually really sad; to mix an inaccurate movie and/or TV, with fantasy barbarianism, Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque.

The feileadh-mor/breacan-an-feileadh period really lands right in the Baroque period 1600 -1750. Being The Life of Red Hugh O'Donnell (1594) - Act of Proscription (1747) being the main time frame for the belted plaid. Perhaps a knew term should be created.. I suggest "Highland Baroque." Like there is German Baroque, Italian Baroque, English Baroque, etc.....

Yes, I know the belted plaid was worn further into 19th century, the heart of it's period ends with the Act of Proscription.
