    historical kilt wearing question...

    Not sure if this needs to go under advice or not, but...

    Doing a little research here for a story I'm writing. Gotta character of Scots descent, generally British in 1902 who is getting married. I'm thinking it might be fun to have him wear a formal kilt for this wedding.

    My understanding is, in the Victorian period there was resurgence of kilt wearing in Britain--a bit of romanticism of the time. Would a British gentleman of Scots descent actually go out of his way to own a proper kilt in his family tartan? Is that realistic?

    And if so--is what he'd wear similar to what a man would wear now for a wedding?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    PS: I love men in kilts, that's why I'd love to do this.
