Kilt is a traditional garment of men from the Highlands of Scotland and from Ireland. It is a knee-length, skirt-like garment pleated at the back, but with a plain front. Most Scottish kilts are made of tartan, a checked cloth, the design of which is often associated with a particular Scottish clan. The traditional cloth for the Irish kilt is a plain, saffron color, but some county tartans are used in uniforms for pipe bands. Most kilts are made of fine-spun, woolen cloth. An ornamental pouch called a sporran is often worn in front of the kilt. Traditionally, nothing is worn under the kilt.
