    I’m having a hard time thinking of garments that would be MORE likely to get caught in machinery than an ~8yd piece of fabric wrapped to include open ends, pleats, flaps and the over the shoulder option. A poncho or cloak is the only thing I can come up with.

      A Great Kilt (invented by Scots, as far as am aware) definitely. I should have been more specific. I was referring to the Small Kilt (which is what I most often hear people referring to as a kilt), which comes from the 18th century.
