kiertains

Kiertains are a type of traditional Scottish garment, typically worn by men. They are a form of knee-length breeches, often made from wool or other durable fabrics. Kiertains are characterized by their wide, baggy legs and a high waist, which can be cinched with a belt. The design allows for ease of movement and is often associated with Scottish highland dress. Kiertains are typically worn with a kilt, a long skirt worn by men, and a sporran, a small pouch worn at the side. The combination of kilt, kiertains, and sporran is a distinctive part of Scottish cultural heritage and is often seen in traditional Scottish events and celebrations. The term "kiertains" is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word "ceartan," which means "breeches." The garment has a rich history, dating back to the 16th century, and has evolved over time to become an iconic symbol of Scottish identity.
