Traditional trews are actually long hose.
Highland regiments stationed in hot or unhealthy surroundings often took to wearing simple white cotton trousers or tartan trews.
Trews could be trimmed with leather, usually buckskin, especially on the inner leg to prevent wear from riding on horseback.
Male highland dress includes kilt (or trews), sporran, sgian dubh and ghillies.
Officers wore plaids of the same tartan, while in drill order all ranks wore white shell jackets with trews and green glengarry caps.
Is he aware that they are not interested in trews or the kilt but in getting back into civvies?
This was whether the amalgamated regiment should wear trews or the kilt.
I am informed that on what are known as gents' denim trews up to 29-inch waist there is no tax imposed in this country.
