Calling all reenactors!!

DON'T BE FOOLED! what many places call a philabeg is not a philabeg at all. You can find a real philabeg at www.kilt-n-stuff.com. Celtic croft is the only place I have seen that sells true philabegs. Depending upon your position in the regiment you may wear only one kind or another. If you are on officer you would wear the philabeg more often (most regiments probably would issue you with both though) you wore the philabeg to fromal events and you wore the philamore in cold weather, on watch, in the field etc.

Actually, I believe it was the other way around. The philabeg was initially adopted as a "fatigue" or working garment, whereas the belted plaid was part of the actual uniform, and thus was worn for all "full dress" occasions....
