'Garb' and the Kilt
Alright- in this thread and this thread there's been some mention of people thinking of kilts as costumes.
Since the kilt is both an ancient and a modern garment, it is easy to see where confusion would come in, especially with the paucity of records on everyday/peasant clothes from insiders to the Highlands compared to other cultures and the perfidy of some sellers in presenting their kilts as authentic.
I'm sure there are folks coming here researching kilts for Ren Fairs and costumes, there are people who wear their Ren stuff as everyday wear, and there are people who get into kilts as costumes and continue to wear only the kilt as clothing, I'm wondering where you draw the line. That thread I mentioned is cool and all, but I think this merits a broader discussion in terms of the narrower subject- namely, what are your thoughts on kilts as 'garb'?
