Long Shirts with a kilt?

[KiltedSurveyor]

Historically, up until at least the mid 19th century, European men's shirts hung almost to the knee, functioning as a night shirt and underwear as well as a day garment. This includes the "original" wearers of the kilt. It makes sense that long shirts should be worn with a kilt, especially when going regimental, as a shirt is much easier to clean than a kilt. I myself prefer a longer tailed shirt with a kilt, it's a lot more comfortable than kilt on skin.

I was going to make this same comment, actually. When I'm in historical garb, my shirt is knee length. I just blouse it a bit to keep it from pulling in the back. My shirt is actually almost the length of a tunic.
