You don't live a sheltered life at all Ellie--Irish men don't wear the plaid kilts. What they do wear and call kilts is just a cloak of wool with a fur lining (not plaid worn about the waist)
Scottish men who move to Ireland wear kilts because it's their country's dress trademark. You couldn't go to Scotland and not find a kilt in a man's wardrobe. But you would be hard pressed to find an Irish born man wearing a kilt......now you know where my ancestors are from....
