What kind of kilt should I buy?

Kilts come in two different weights of cloth, medium weight which is 12/13oz and heavyweight which is 16/17oz. They both have different qualities and the benefits of both are detailed below.

All our kilts are 8 yards hand stitched, with shaping in the small of the back to ensure perfect fit and that the kilt does not slip as the day goes on.

MEDIUM WEIGHT

This is the easiest weight of kilt to wear. In this weight of kilt the heat retention is less than the heavyweight but still hangs well and looks very sharp. The majority of kilts sold are in this weight.

HEAVY WEIGHT 

The benefit of the heavy weight kilt is the way the pleats hang at the back, with most of the fabric in the kilt in the pleats at the back, the more weight in the back will ensure a pronounced swing to the kilt.                                                                     

BUYING A KILT

We pride ourselves on giving customers individual service and advice, so although the above information is a guideline we would normally advise a customer on the weight of cloth and yardage required personally for their individual needs.
