I have been told by some friends of Scottish ancestry that a proper kilt is not sewn closed in the form in which it is worn, rather it is a single long piece of fabric which is held in place with a belt. Taking this into account, as well as the fact that its smaller dimension is larger than one amah, it would seem to require tzitzit.

My question here is two-fold:

  1. Would a kilt require tzitzit to be worn?
  2. According to the opinion of the Rambam, what colour would the strings be, considering the tartan pattern?

    I remember an article that a multicolored garment uses white tzitzis because there is no "main" color for the string to match.

    @DoubleAA, two are by the waist, two by the knee. I should probably mention that I've never really learned hilchot tzitzit.

    Is it wrapped around the body repeatedly in a spiral, like paper towels or toilet paper? (That's the picture I'm getting from your words.) cc @DoubleAA
