CLOTHES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

WHAT DO WE WEAR HERE IN IRELAND?

When talking about traditional Irish clothing, a lot of people think of the kilt. However, the kilt is associated with Scotland, and was never worn by the Irish. Ireland had a similar version, but it was called a brat.

Can anyone tell me what a brat is?
