Highlanders have been wearing the "Great Kilt" and its variations for centuries. The kilt offered the Scotsman versatility by being a garment, sleeping bag and a protection against inclement weather. By tucking and folding the excess material around the waist and pinning at the chest, pockets were created to hold personal items that probably included anything from bread and cheese to game from a hunt. How the kilt was worn, was to a certain degree, a personal choice and matter of comfort and practicality.
The Great Kilt was made from as much as 8 yards or more of tartan, but ours is constructed of a more manageable 4 yards with beautiful fringes on either end of the fabric. Our model is 6’2” and has plenty of tartan to work with. To complete your ensemble, we offer matching linen tams and tunics (shirts) to complete your Highlander outfit.
Wool tartans are not easy to come by and are certainly not as affordable as we are able to offer you at this time, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by for such a distinctive and handsome Scottish Kilt. Our tartans are made from high quality, 100% pure Australian merino worsted wool of a 10-11oz weight. If the clan tartans exceed your budget, we also offer these kilts in 100% linen.
More yardage on your kilt may be obtained by e-mailing us so we can notify you of the availability and costs. We will include instructions on how to fold and wear your Great Kilt, so you will not be left without a guide. Subject to availability of wool! If you have any questions about wool availability please e-mail us.
