A fustanella is a skirt worn by Balkan men resembling a Scottish kilt. The style of clothing has been around since at least the 4th century CE.
The Albanian traditional costume with fustanella had identified the special troops that Albanians constituted within the Ottoman Empire, whose military prowess became renowned, especially in the era of the Ottoman Albanian pashas Ali of Yanina and Muhammad Ali of Egypt.
