The term 'pleated tartan' is often used to describe a traditional Scottish garment known as a KILT. The KILT is a knee-length garment made of tartan fabric that is pleated at the waist and fastened with a belt. It is typically worn with a sporran, a pouch that hangs from the belt, and a sash or plaid draped over the shoulder. The KILT is a symbol of Scottish culture and is often worn on special occasions such as weddings and Highland Games.
