Yes, I know Scotsmen wear kilts, and not because they have transgender complexes or have lost their manliness. Originally the Scottish kilt was a full length garmet, a cloak. It seems to have originated as battle clothing for the free movement it made possible, and the pleat offered some protection like armor.

The short kilt originated in the 18th century as a protest against King George II’s effort to stamp out Highland culture by dress codes outlawing the Scottish kilt.
