Yes true story. IIRC in 2004 or 2005, Lt. Col. Voltonen officially announced the Kilt and Caubeen were being reinstated. I cannot recall exactly what year that announcement was made.
I also recall our kilts in the 90's were like bath wraps and could not pass muster as a kilt. Our caubeens were no better. The materials being used were substandard, the kilt would not hold its pleats. The caubeens did not lay correctly.
