Kilt suits were also worn in England during the 1880s. We have, however, not yet found many examples. And thus do not know much about them. We are not sure if the lack of examples reflects the fact that they were niot very common or our limited English archive. We notice them being worn with panteletts well below the hem of the kilt. This was less common in America. The one example we have found has matching jacket, vest, and kilt-skirt. This seems to be the standard con vention, although with so few examples we cannot be sure. The example we have found does not have any Fauntleroy trim.
