A kilt is a type of traditional Scottish garment that is most often associated with men’s Highland dress. It is a knee-length skirt-like garment made of woolen cloth and is typically pleated at the rear. Kilts are considered a symbol of Scottish and Celtic heritage and are commonly worn for formal occasions, Highland games, and other events. Here are some key aspects of kilts:

  1. Design and Construction:
    • Fabric: Kilt are traditionally made from wool, which provides warmth and durability. Different types of wool and tartan patterns are used, with tartan being a distinctive plaid or checked pattern associated with specific Scottish clans or regions.
    • Pleating: Kilts are pleated at the back, and the pleats are usually sewn in place. The front of the kilt remains flat, and it is secured with straps and buckles.
