From the research that I have done there is very little evidence of kilt wearing in the fur trade in either the USA or Canada. I was hoping to find a plausible example of kilting associated with the early exploration and settlement of the Canadian West. I volunteer at Calgary's Heritage Park, but alas my attire is in denim bib coveralls and a tweed flat cap at the grain elevator. If any XMarkers find themselves in Calgary on a Thursday or a Saturday please find the time to visit our wonderful village and seek out the grain elevator. I will enlighten you as to it's operation and importance to a developing prairie town.
