Figure 1.-- Highland kilt outfits were done with black military style jackets. We rarely see American kilt suits with these jackets. Standard suit jackets were much more common. we have found a few such examples. They are not Highlnd kilt outfits though because e do not se any of the accotements of a Highland outfit like a sporan, shoulder plaid, and Argyle knee socks. This CDV is one of the examples we have found. It is not fated, but looks like it was taken about 1870. The studio was Washburn Photograph & Fine Art Gallery in Louisville, Kentucky.

And the kilts being worn or more like skirts without the features of real kilts. Highland kilt outfits were never worn with long stoickings. American boys wearing kilt suits almost always wore long stickings. Of course the jacket and kilt are the major kilt outfit items, so when wearing the military jacket, a boy's outfir does look like a Highland kilt outfit.
