The Albanian Kilt (Fustanella as it is known in the Albanian Language) was common dress for Albanian mens from the past centuries where it was regularly worn by a tribe of the Dalmatians (one of the Illyrian progenitors of the Albanians), till 20-th century. Mens Fustanella / Kilt used to be widely used all over West Balkan, in particular in Illyria and Mollosia / Epirus. At that time the Kilt was called Dalmatica however theories exist that the Kilt really had its origin during much earlier times as a long shirt called LINJA which, when gathered at the waist by a sash, gave the appearance of a knee- or calf-length kilt. From at least the 12th century a strong cotton cloth called FUSTAN was produced hence the name of the garment FUSTAN & later the diminutive FUSTANELLA . « less
