British History in Scottish Plaid Skirts

There are not many countries in the world where men wear skirts, and it is even less likely that the British people will wear colorful plaid skirts with masculine charm. Men's plaid skirts, like Scottish bagpipes and whiskey, can be proud of British pride.

The Scottish Skirt was called “Kilt” in English and its history can be traced back to the 16th century, which was due to the cold and rainy climate in the Scottish Highlands. There are many ways to talk about the origin of modern Scottish skirts. One of the most widely regarded is an Englishman called Tom Rowlinson who first advocated wearing a Scottish short skirt.

In 1746, the historic Battle of Kulden between Scotland and England took place. Wearing a checkered skirt and a brave Scottish warrior left a deep impression on the English people. Until the First World War, the Royal Highlands Corps wearing uniforms in kilts still frightened their opponents. The Germans called them "women's from hell."

Today, men still wear skirts and inspect each other's skirts when they wear traditional costumes. If anyone wears underwear, he will be mocked as a coward. The swashbuckling of the Scots is evident.

For Scots, the kilt is a very formal dress and is only worn on weddings or other more formal occasions. The skirts represented by the checkered skirts are not merely a kind of clothing, but are signs of ancient Scottish culture.

In 1707, when Scotland merged with England, the Scots wore short skirts repeatedly bursting with a national uprising, rebelling against the resistance of the English people and demanding national independence. In 1745, after the Hannover dynasty in England suppressed the Scottish armed uprising, it banished the famous British “anti-skirt” order in the history of England. It prohibited the Scots from wearing a traditional checkered skirt. It was only in England’s attire. Will be imprisoned or banished. However, Scots did not give up clothes that symbolize the national spirit because of fear of torture. For more than 30 years of struggle, they have used their lives and blood to finally win the right to wear their own skirts. In 1782, the Hannover dynasty was eventually forced to cancel the "prohibition order."

The color of the kilt and the appearance of the plaid pattern are similar to those of outsiders, but this is not the case. These seemingly similar patterns are very particular in their use. Changes in the width and width of different colors and lattices represent different families, communities, regions, schools, communities, companies, etc., as if they were worn together. ID card on the body. The use of different grids to distinguish different grades also has a long tradition in Scotland.

The black and gray grid is called the "Government Grid." There are also lattice patterns that are specially made for the royal family. The nobles wear a lattice pattern, which is called "Aristocratic." In the 17th and 18th centuries, the war between the highland tribes in Scotland continued all year round, and the men on the battlefield identified the enemy with the plaid pattern they wore.

Today, there are nearly 5,000 kinds of plaid patterns registered by the Scottish tartan certification body. It can be said that every Scotsman has his own plaid pattern.
