Randym77: you might want to double check. I think there were kilts of a sort way back, sort of like a belted nightshirt, a "tunic," but not tartan if you mean plaids associated with clans. I would be interested in what you find out.I'd have to look it up but I think I read this in a book with a title something like The Invention of Tradition. The kind of garment (tunic)I am thinking of was pretty widely worn in europe, though, and some versions I think are worn by like Mayan peasants even today. It was pretty fundamental for centuries. One version was sort of like you describe, with one shoulder untied. Common working men also wore simply a strip of cloth around the hips, with weights to make them drape, and we could use these in poser scenes too! Catlin: I dont know what they wear in Glasgow, but sure ancient costumes have persisted regionally and as novelties. By ancientI was not being technical, but only refering to common dress prior to medieval times. Of course ancient dress and customs survived alongside newer styles even into modern times. My point was mainly that we would be enriched with more costumes and living structures from antiquity and tribal people to work with.
