The Kilt All our kilts are hand-sewn by professional kiltmakers who have many years of experience in the craft of kiltmaking. Therefore, you can be assured of a top quality garment which will give you a lifetime of wear. 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". 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.
Our kilts are available in Scottish clan tartans, Scottish district tartans and Irish county tartans. All of our Scottish 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. Medium Weight - (12 - 13 oz.) Heavy Weight - (16 - 17 oz.) ![]()
