In Scotland you can say I'm wearing the kilt, and still mean I'm wearing a kilt. It's honorific.

I'm talking about how wearing "a" kilt is described in Scotland. To "wear the kilt" is a known phrase in Scotland. Even if you're wearing "a" kilt. It is not a reference to a specific kilt, but as I said, an honorific term for kilt-wearing. This doesn't apply to other forms of clothing.
