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!!!!

The belted plaid("great kilt") is perfectly fine for probably the last couple decades of the 1500s(not the 15th century).

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