It is a very well written article, and with the information given, gives one something to think about.... I appreciate the efforts of Mathew and Todd, in this joint project.. both men are known for printing verifiable facts, and not just opinions. I would like to think the Irish kilt has a little deeper history, than recorded. The use of the kilts, by the military, in the early 1900's, had to have a source, to draw from.. and maybe one day, we can find a verifiable source for that..

I do not claim the kilt is an Irish invention, by no means. I feel I wear my Saffron and soon to be received O'Saffron as a statement of my Celtic pride. I wear my Leatherneck kilt, for my military service... I enjoy the comaraderie of wearing my kilt, with the other members of XMarks... reguardless of their nationality or origins.. We are all just brothers in kilts.....
