    If you're talking about a great kilt being "authentic" for the 1500s, you might check this thread: http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/r...ighlight=1500s As far as the tartan, there is a smashing US Navy tartan that might the bill for you, possibly with a Spec Forces kilt pin? And before I forget WELCOME TO XMTS!!!!

    Fantastic suggestion, good sir! Box pleated kilts are 'da bomb.
