Americans Harbor Urge I o Don Scot Kilt, Tartan i By VORMAN MXDIIl'RST WIESBADEN, March 11 The average American harbors a daik urge to don a kilt or at least to flaunt a tartan. The authority for this is Wil liam James Kinloch Anderson, tailor and kiltmaker to the Bri tish royal household. "The popularity of kilts and .artans is very great indeed and readily is increasing, particul arly among Americans," the Scotsman with the Norse name ! resorted. "The number of people in America who claim Scotch fam ily ties is simply incredible. They are immensely pruiid of tlu:r cwn ancestry af tar'ans." Anderson says that the ten men in Britain aj-e among his best customers.

The Scotsman doesn't think jokes about kilts are funny. "The kilt," he asserted, "is a very healthygarmet. Keeps the tummy trim, you know." Da the Scots actually wear kilts except to do an highland fling? "I have a friend a bank er in the west of Scotland who hasn't worn a pair of trousers in 20 years," Anderson said, "xr many Scots a kilt is not a fancy dress item but an es sential part of his wardrobe." The production of a kilt, ac cording to the kiltmaker, is an intricate operation. ' It takes a team of experts county were attending. Eagle won the award for those com ing the greatest distance.

The average kilt weighs from six to sevn pounds. It has 25 to30 pleats andre quires eiRht or nine yards of cloth," Anderson explained. "It takes great skill for the tailor to distribute the weight of the kilt evenly so it doesn't feel heavy. For perfect fit, the kilt seam hould be be some quarter of an inch higher in th back than the front." There are different materials for different kilts. 'A woman would choose a lightwight ma terial, a man requires an eve ning jacket for day or evening dress wear and heavy for a requij special material," the kiltmaker elaborated. The well-dressed Scotsman, Anderson disclosed, invests an proximately $170 in his daily kilt outfit and a nadditional $225 in a formal rv. For daily wear the Scotsman requires a medium to heavy kilt of hunting tartan, a lather spor ran pouch, knee-length stockings black brogue shoes, a hunting dirk, (which is stuck in the top of the stockings), a tweed jacket, plain white shirt and tie, and a Balmoral laced bonnet with silver crest and cockade.

Traditional silver buckles are available for the black brogues. This leaves just one question. and the Scotch kiltmaster met it headon. What does the eentleman wear under his kilt?
