Plaid Highland garment
A tartan kilt is a knee-length pleated skirt made from wool cloth woven in a tartan pattern—the distinctive crossed horizontal and vertical bands associated with Scottish Highland dress.
Specific tartan patterns traditionally identify particular clans or regions: He wore his family's tartan kilt to the wedding.
