Aren't kilts a Chinese invention?
*thinks back to a certain episode of QI*
EDIT: hmmm, sort of of right, except for the country and the actual fact...
" Tangent: Things not invented by the Scots include kilts (Irish), Hogmanay (French) and whiskey (Italian and Chinese). Correction: What is claimed to be the Irish kilt is more like a kind of tunic. In terms of a "Man skirt", the kilt IS a Scottish invention."

There are Mesopotamian freizes showing Sumerian charioteers wearing what look like leather kilts.
