Authentic tartan plaid and philibeg, at that epoch,—to the wonder of Trondhjem and us!

I have had this philibeg on now for some days, and I find I do as well with it as any the best breeches I ever put on.

Until quite recently it was believed that the plaid, philibeg and bonnet formed the ancient garb.

The philibeg or kilt, as distinct from the plaid, in all probability, is comparatively modern.

But it was not only as a convenient and durable mode of apparel that the kilt and philibeg were advantageous.
