The belted plaid (or a plaid worn belted) is a large blanket-like piece of fabric which is wrapped around the body with the material pleated or, more accurately, loosely gathered and secured at the waist by means of a belt. Typically, a portion of the belted plaid hangs down to about the knees with the rest of the material being wrapped up around the upper body in a variety of ways and pinned or otherwise secured to keep it in place. The belted plaid was a standard item of men's Highland dress from the late 16th century until the middle of the 18th century. It was also the precursor of the modern tailored kilt. ==Terminology== The belted plaid has been and is often referred to by a variety of different terms, including ''féileadh-mór'', ''breacan an fhéilidh'', and, very commonly, the Great Kilt. The term "Great Kilt" can be misleading since this garment was untailored, and modern era kilts are tailored. The garment was most definitely not known by this name during the years of its usage. Both the terms ''féileadh-mór'' and ''breacan an fhéilidh'' are Gaelic terms, the former meaning roughly "large wrap" and the latter roughly meaning "tartan wrap". The word ''plaide'' in Gaelic roughly means blanket, and that was the original term for the garment in question. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Belted plaid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
