Kilts have gained people love many centuries ago but from a few years now they are also very popular amongst celebrities.

The tartan Kilt has been around for many years in the cultural tradition of Scotland. The features and traditions have been brought in by the Nobles of England and not by Scottish Highlanders.

There is a lot of evidence that many of the tartans that are seen today are made from the inventions of Scottish and English tailors during the reign of Queen Victoria. It has been known and accepted that the idea of a tartan and wearing a kilt did get their origin in the history of the early Scottish and Irish people. It has been established that certain people did aspire to a certain uniform of design for their articles of clothing as early as the tenth century.

There are actually a wide variety of traditional, kilt-like, ethnic outfits worn by men throughout the world; such as the Albanian kilt (also known as a Greek fustanella), Japanese hakama, East African kikoi, Indian lungi, Mexican and Native American sapeta, Fijian sulu, Tongan tupenu, sarongs and lava-lavas found in Greater Polynesia (the Pacific Islands), as well as unbifurcated robe and tunic-type outfits such as the Japanese kimono and yukata, African dashiki, Middle Eastern caftan, Moroccan djellabah, Polish giermak, Egyptian galabiyah, Himalayan gho, Burmese longyi and a host of various cassocks and robes regularly worn by the Clergy of most religions, whether it be on a daily basis or for most special occasions and ceremonies. women's kilts

Styles of Leather Kilts

These come in many different styles. Some are designed to bring to life the look of classic tartan kilts. These designs usually have flat panels in their fronts and pleats along their sides. Most kilts of this type will have buckling strap closures. More modern versions may feature cargo pockets or have edgy embellishments like chains or studs.

Some of these kilts are inspired by biker gear rather than classic kilts. These include chaps-style kilts that are made to wear over trousers or jeans and asymmetrical gladiator-style kilts that are on the short side.

There are many technical terms for parts of kilts and the way they are worn. For instance the overlapping layers at the front are known as aprons and these are flat (whereas the fabric at the back and around the sides is usually pleated). A kilt pin is then what is normally fastened to the front apron on the free corner. Utitity Kilts

The sporrans then are the bags normally worn loosely around the waist often made from hair and/or leather. These sporrans provide the wearer with somewhere to keep items such as loose change and phones etc and hark back to the middle ages when pockets hadn't been invented and all loose items were kept in similar hip bags. These allow you to easily sit down without losing any of your money.

Whether or not you choose to wear underwear when wearing kilts is a matter of personal opinion while popular culture has often hinted that we should not wear underwear under kilts, this is not something agreed upon in all circles, and the Scottish Tartans Authority has publicly condemned the action as unhygienic.
