The History Of Scottish Kilts

Here we'll start with the Great Kilts for sale (or Belted Plaid). Traditionally the Feileadh Mhor was made from one length of a thick, wool cloth known as 'breacan' (a Gaelic word meaning speckled or partly colored). This cloth was usually about 5ft wide and could be up to 21ft long.

Several feet of the fabric was folded into loose pleats and wrapped around the wearers' waist, then fastened in place with a thick, leather belt. The rest of the cloth was thrown over the shoulder, and tucked into the belt at the back.

This spare material could also be pulled up over the head and shoulders to protect whoever was wearing it from cold winds, and heavy rain or snow. The whole thing was worn over a long sleeved tunic, which reached the knees.

Over a hundred years later, around the middle of the 17th Century this early, heavy and rather awkward, version of the kilts began to be replaced by the 'Feileadh Beag' (also known as the 'Philabeg' and pronounced 'feela beg').

This was basically the lower half  of the Feileigh Mor and consisted of a single (shorter) length of breacan, loosely folded, wrapped around the waist and again secured by a thick belt.

There was no 'extra' cloth to throw over the shoulder or use as a cloak, and this variation was also known as the 'Walking Kilt'. In the 18th Century, the loose folds were widely being replaced by pleats that were sewn into the fabric, making the whole outfit much easier to wear.

For a while both styles were worn by Highlanders, but over time the older Great Kilt disappeared from everyday wear as the more comfortable Walking Kilt took it's place . By this point in history it was much more recognizable as the ancestor of today's kilt.
