Should the ancient Caledonians be considered Britons or Picts?

Picts and Britons are the same. The Picts emerged as a distinct group purely because they were the people north of the friendly British tribes north of the wall. Like most of the larger federations and confederacies of tribes that arose in the 3rd, 4th and 5th centuries the Pictish ethnogenesis was a response to Roman aggression in the barbaricum. So the Caledonians were Britons, and they gradually became a distinct group called the Picts (though the name is Latin) to differentiate themselves from the Britons, pretty much all of whom were either under direct Roman control or were friendly to them like the Votadini/Gododdin.

why aren't the plaid trouser guys wearing armor? If they didn't have enough metal for it, they could at least have made padded armor from cloth or leather?
