Kilt - Scottish Kilts

Kilts in Scottish & Irish Tartans

A kilt is an investment that will last longer than any garment in your closet, and it will never go out of style.

The traditional art of kiltmaking is a combination of unique sewing skills and geometry that takes years to master.

The kilts we sell are made to measure for you, and are handmade from start to finish by one kiltmaker. There are no assembly lines. The most popular kilt is made with 8 yards of the finest tartan wool and has three leather straps with buckle closures.

Pleating & Length

Most kilts are made so that the sett (repeating pattern) of the tartan is reproduced in the pleats. This is called "pleating to the sett" as shown in the photos here. Military style kilts can be "pleated to the stripe" so that a narrow bright stripe appears in each pleat. Not all tartans are suitable for pleating to the stripe. Please enquire.

Mercifully, the hemline of the kilt is not subject to the whims of French fashion. It should be worn just below the top of the knee.

Kilting Tartans & Prices

All of our Tartan fabrics are made with 2-ply worsted wool yarns. Worsted yarns are those made from the longer fibers of fine quality wool, which are combed to lie parallel to each other, producing a smooth, clean look. The yarn is then spun with a twist of 15-25 turns per inch, five times higher than that of a regular woollen yarn. The higher the twist, the stronger the yarn. Fabrics made with worsted yarns wear comfortably in moderate climates.
