  For a long time I&apos;ve thought a kilt was one of the most intelligent articles of clothing, this video explains why.

  I think the Scotts deserve some kudos for creating a cloak/dress hybrid for men, similar to cultures formed in much warmer climates. Yet, they did it in a way that keeps you warm, alive, and still let your balls breath.

  Hello in Chile we have a traditional garment that fulfilled the same function to get warm, bundle up and protect from cold and rain, but is more like a poncho. &nbsp;It is called the Castilla blanket (Manta de Castilla) is made with sheep&apos;s wool, it is used a lot in places like Chiloe and southern Chile where the weather is rainy in the winter.

  In the Scout organisation where I grew up, there is a thing called a &quot;Siebensachenfahrt&quot;- a trip where you should be as efficient as possible in what you pack, and ideally only carry seven things total with you. Backpack, clothing, and sleeping bag included. So, having a Great Kilt, which is one thing that can function as multiple others, would be incredibly useful for such a trip.

  What fascinates me the most about this, is the creativity that goes into figuring out how to fold and wrap a piece of cloth to achieve results for such diverse tasks! Knots are another thing that I don&apos;t understand. How do people come up with knots? Amazing stuff!

  Someone needs to introduce him to Bernadette Banner. I’d love to see them collaborate.

  I always hoped that the paid would come back. That people in Scotland and all over the world would rediscover this wonderful piece of ancestral design. I think you have done some fantastic work and the tradition is starting to turn alive again... Cracking vid Tom!!

  This reminds me of when I was 12 years old and I picked up a Nintendo Magazine that had how to dress yourself like a ninja using clothe folded the right way to cover your head. The same feeling applies watching this video at the age of 44 for some reason. I am neither Japanese nor Scottish , but these things fascinate me to no end.

  It is fascinating that saris in India are also the same unstitched length of fabric and both 9 yards and 5.5 yards to wear. &nbsp;I think unstitched fabric of something beautiful such as cotton hand loom or plaid is a precious thing. &nbsp;I love the simplicity and multi-functionality and sustainability of it.

  The army in the USA used to issue each person a long wool blanket. &nbsp;It makes so much sense to use wool. &nbsp;Amazing history of the kilt.
