Outlander Wardrobe and language

[Dale Seago]

Is the Inverness Cape worn by Ned (The Lawyer character in Rent as I might not have the name right) off the rack?

It is gorgeous! I would love to see it in detail and maybe get a copy of the pattern or better yet buy one, although I doubt I could afford it at the moment.

It is indeed gorgeous, and I can see potential for a clothing line inspired by the series for both lasses and laddies.

I'm curious about how the kilts are worn. It seems to me that many, if not all, are worn at "jeans waist" instead at the natural waist, where kilts are traditionally worn, and, if I'm not mistaken, historically speaking, all mens "lower" garments, including pants, were worn, until relatively recently ( say, since about 1960?).
Was this a consciously made decision?

For those who are wearing a feileadh mor or "belted plaid/great kilt" I would expect that. I used to wear one fairly often, as in my pic below (from the photo shoot for a book on Highland swordsmanship), and the belt that holds the wrap together and keeps it from falling off rides at the same place as your jeans belt. It's not obvious if you're wearing a waistcoat & jacket as in the photo, because the waistcoat covers it. However, in the series you often (generally when engaged in menial chores or other highly informal circumstances) see Jamie and others "in their underwear" as it was regarded at the time, with only their shirt on the upper body, and that's where the low rise of the wrap becomes apparent.
