A good comendium but very obviously missing from the list are Trews (triubhas).
Depending on what one means by 'old' then some of these items are modern, cravat for example. The 18th century garment was a Stock (stoc).

There is also cuaran - sort of moccasins/slippers somewhat between barefoot and brogan in sophistication and also with holes to allow water to drain out.

I missed an obvious one in sporan too, plus there's no terms really for female attire.
Does anyone know what toorie would be? It seems to be Lallans but maybe the same word was used in Gaelic like Bonnet.

I think it depends; a cravat is borrowed from French, but in the "English" world was something wrapped and often tied in a knot in the font similar to a modern tie, while a stock simply wraps around and is buckled. Ive not yet seen a surviving example of a reenactor style stock that ties in the back, I think that was a US Bicentennial made up/make due as no one was producing stock buckles or clasps.

It's one thing to spell out the gaelic (in whatever spelling you think it sounds like), but another to somehow distribute the audio that actually represents the actual Gaelic pronunciation. (Is there anyway we can understand how it sounds?)

Very extensive audio files at http://learngaelic.net/dictionary/index.jsp
The rest of the site is worth digging around in, too!

Always good to learn something new. I haden't realised that the term was that old - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cravat
