Highland wear items in Gaelic

[Nathan]

I think it might be interesting to know some of the names of the various pieces of Highland attire in Gaelic. Some are still in Gaelic like sporran and sgian dubh and I know kilt is (or was) feileadh beag. I also know shoes is brogan but what about the other items like hose, flashes, jacket, tweed, bonnet (all types) , crest, waistcoat, belt, buckle?

Excellent idea, Nathan!

www.learngaelic.net/dictionary is good, even speaks most of the words to you in a credible accent. I daren't type any of those wicked foreign words for fear of being labelled 'impolite' again.....

This is an Anglicised name for a style of modern Highland Dress shoe. syalistically it's probable source was the cuaran, a soft leather shoe as opposed to a brog.

Do you know what the difference is between a cuaran and a pampootie? Shoes like this date at least back to the bronze age but are there specific terms used if the shoe is made of skin with hair or other material?
It's great that the shoe worn by the dancers is not that different from its ancestor from thousands of years ago.
