[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9417831, member: 2844"]He could be. Really? I see a huge plaid, folded and worn in the traditional Scottish way from the left shoulder passed under the right arm, and back over the left shoulder with the end hanging down the back. The plaid is fastened on the shoulder with a plaid brooch. The tartan of both plaid and kilt is depicted the way you often see on figurines, with only the dominant stripes showing. In real life you often see tartans from a distance with the dominant stripe only, it is when a tartan wearer come closer that you recognize the full tartan pattern. I also see a fur or horsehair sporran with the usual tassels, and the straps that tie it around the waist. And I clearly see a Scottish model kilt jacket with slit flaps, the style that is worn by the military and on formal occasions. He is also wearing a Glengarry type bonnet, without pompom. And no, the Ottomans didn't wear kilts. They wore baggy trousers, often tucked in boots. Their headwear was either a fez, or a turban, often wound around a fez. They never wore Scottish jackets, tartan plaids or Glengarries either.[/QUOTE]
