The "kilt" is, at its simplest, a piece of cloth or even an animal hide wrapped around a person's waist. It could be said to be the earliest of all garments and its origin reaching back to prehistory. if by kilt you mean the complex folded and pleated garment worn by Scottish and Irish clans which incorporate traditional woven patterns to identify family ties, then the kilt goes back to Scotland in the 16th century. It first appeared as the "great kilt" (a full-length garment) then as a small kilt or walking kilt more like the "modern" kilt.It actually originated from France.
