Some of the people at the reenactmant events that I have never seen in kilts have noted that my "newfangled" side buckles and straps are not period correct. Got me - never crossed my mind. Some really know their stuff.
They are OK that I don't want to wrestle with a great kilt though. I can see me laying 9 yards of wool blanket out and pleating on the ground and then dealing with the summer heat thus clad. Them old Scots were tough!
