Kilt Blog

I came across this picture while looking at kilt photos on flickr. I really, really like the plaid, its very subtle. But I couldn’t find which tartan it is in the Reverse Tartan Search at House of Tartan.

The “kilt” is a bit odd though, either there is no apron or else its on backwards. It has box style pleats, which are not currenty used on traditional kilts, although some of the first tailored kilts of the early 1800’s did use them. Some modern kilts use box pleats too, they generally take less fabric and are lighter in weight.
