Löysin tällaisen sivun kilt:eistä. Kiintoisaa tietoa ja huomaa ihan viimeinen osa tästä tekstistä:


Kilts are skirt-like garments with the following basic features:
- They wrap around the waist and thighs, with overlapping panels in the front.
- The outer front panel of a man's kilt (called the apron) opens on the wearer's  right side. Women's kilted skirts usually open on the left side. Although they are usually fastened with buckles, some varieties are not.
- They are relatively short - usually coming to the kneecap or just above it. When you kneel in a kilt, the edge of it should not quite touch the ground. However, kilts have recently been designed in alternative styles that may be slightly longer or shorter.

They are pleated. A man's kilt has deep, overlapping knife-type pleats in the back. Therefore, the kilt hangs relatively straight, while having plenty of material to allow for freedom of movement. The front panels are not pleated.

The typical Scottish kilt is made of 8 or 9 yards of smooth, tightly woven wool with a tartan (plaid) design. Men having Scottish ancestry usually choose tartans for Scottish clans that are associated with their family names. There are also many non-clan tartans that can be worn by anyone - whether Scottish or not. Kilts may also be of solid colors - as frequently seen in Irish kilts.

In order to accommodate kilt-wearers in climes warmer than Scotland, men's kilts are sometimes made with lighter weight wool, less material, or alternative fabrics. Because they don't have pockets, men's kilts are usually worn with a pouch, called a sporran, hanging in front. Some men wear kilts with sporrans on the side or with alternative kinds of pouches. Some varieties of kilts have pockets. A new American variation called the Utilikilt (which the author also wears regularly) includes models that don't wrap around, but go on like trousers. They maintain the rugged, masculine spirit of the kilt, with the added convenience of cargo pockets and a front fly. (For casual wear, the author finds Utilikilts to be far more practical than regular kilts, and even more comfortable.)

Traditionally, the kilt is worn with woolen, knee-length sox (called hose), held up with special garters with colored tabs on the side. Lighter weight sox are available for warmer weather. For casual wear, some men go with ankle sox.

...

Basic anatomy explains why trousers might be more comfortable on a woman than on a man. One of worst things about trousers is the way the fabric, seams, and zipper all converge at the crotch - the very place where men need the most room - resulting in varying degrees of confinement and friction. Men have learned to tolerate this as the price of wearing pants. However, after wearing a kilt regularly, a man becomes acutely aware of how annoying trousers really are. Women, because of their different anatomy, don't suffer the same constriction in the crotch that men do. In actuality, women are far more physically adapted to trousers than men are.
