Kilt as part of Steampunk costume

[OC Richard]

The thing I notice is that Steampunk kiltwearers nearly always wear anachronistic Highland Dress items with their Steampunk.

Because Steampunk, as it's been explained to me, exists in a specific time period, namely the Victorian period.

Since Highland Dress underwent a near-total transformation around WWI these anachronisms are quite clear.

And it gets even more anachronistic, because Utilikilts are often seen in Steampunk, off by a century.

Seems that nearly all men in Highland Dress at Victorian Balls, Dickens Festivals, American Civil War Balls, etc wear 20th century Highland Dress items, especially sporrans and jackets.
