How many kilts would a Scot have had.

I think about this every single time I go to a CW reenactment of any kind and can't help but shake my head and laugh, because I know our ancestors would be doing the same thing!

So do I, especially when someone brings out a reproduction of a weapon, uniform, etc. that the troops despised, such as the Austrian Lorenz Rifle, and reenactors go crazy.

Several years ago, everyone had to have a repro smoothbore M1842 Musket, even though the soldiers would have traded their eye teeth for a Springfield or Enfield rifled musket.

Sorry for the OT.

Interesting thought. You can only wear one garment at a time so I would say only one Kilt. Easy for travel and getting around and your "luggage" would not get lost. And as far as smell, everyone would blend in to the surroundings, without that "fresh scent"
