Traditional Kilt Jacket Backs?

[KFCarter]

Okay, I'll probably use some incorrect terms here, but...

The gentle folds on either side of the back of the trachten seem to follow similar lines to some sewn-in "darts" (?) on either side of the back of my PC. The small "belt" on the back of the trachten seems to tailor the back, giving it a more "fitted" effect without sewing that effect into the garment the way it appears to be done on a PC. To me, it's a nice, relaxed look, without being a formless sack.

I'm wondering if there are examples of this kind of approach in Highland attire (of any period).

I think dart is the correct term for the folds that are sewn down and taper to nothing.

We are on the same wave length, KFCarter. I was going to ask if there are any kilt jackets with the belt on the back. I know a lot of historical styled jackets do have a belt, at least on the back, so I wonder...

I'll go ahead and ask then.

Are there any kilt jackets with a belt around the waist line? I think one of the doublets has a belt, but...
