    The kilt today has the pleats sewn in place. It's
usually made to measure.

A year or so ago, a friend of mine, a Scotsman, bought his first kilt. It was a long, expensive business.

  Historically it was the belted plaid, or great kilt
(feileadh mòr), one size fits all. A long unsewn length of
plaid loosely gathered up and held in place with a belt,
leaving the rest of the length loose to hang over one
shoulder and use as a cloak or head covering.
    Our postman Jamie always delivered the mail wearing the
great kilt... summer, winter, pouring rain. He told me the
cold exposure made his legs tougher and hairier, a better
look for his side-line in historic (Scottish) re-
enactments and film. He was an extra in Braveheart.

So at last we know what Scotsmen have under their kilts: hairy legs.
