Choosing your kilt...

First you’ll need to decide on your tartan.
Many clan tartans come in two or three variations (usually Modern,
Ancient and Weathered).
The tartan cloth comes in three weights, although the lightest of these
is generally only suited to ladies wear.
The medium weight cloth is 13 oz. Also known as
‘Braeriach’

The heavyweight cloth is 16 oz. Also known as ‘Strome’ This is what I recommend you buy (if your tartan is available in this weight). Using this cloth ensures your kilt ‘hangs’ perfectly. It also keeps its shape far better than a lighter weight of cloth. To see the list of tartans available in this weight, go here:

If you do not see your tartan listed then please get in touch.
I can usually source the tartan from alternative mills.I can also
supply a large range of other highland wear and accessories all at
competitive prices. Please contact me for more
information.
How to measure for the kilt...
It is important that you are measured correctly to ensure a
good fit
for the kilt. I cannot accept responsibility for any inaccurate
measurements so please make sure these are exact.
There are three measurements needed. Have someone help you take these,
and double check every one.
1.
Waist. Please note. Your waist
measurement is not
the same as your trouser waist. The kilt sits at your natural waist,
just above your navel, between your hips and the bottom of your
ribcage. Do not suck in or push out stomach and do not measure over
bulky clothing, only over a shirt or t-shirt. This should be a snug measurement.
2. Hips. Measure around the widest part
of your
buttocks. Make sure nothing is in your pockets. This should be a loose
measurement.
3. Length. Kneel in an upright position
on a hard
floor with knees 2” apart. Look straight and have measurement
taken from the navel to the floor. This will ensure the kilt length
reaches the middle of the kneecap. If
you would prefer it to sit above the knee then subtract 1”
from
this measurement. It should sit no higher than this and no lower than
the
middle of the knee.
