The 8-yard kilt is the gold-standard of kilt construction. Full-bodied with deeper pleats at the back, the 8-yard is ideal for any event you’ll be attending. Our kilts, properly kept and treated, will last you a lifetime. Fully canvas lined with 3 buckles to ensure an excellent fit.
The kilt is machine stitched and hand finished from 8 yards of worsted wool, available in our full range of tartans from Lochcarron of Scotland, Marton Mills, Strathmore Woollens, House of Edgar and Welsh Tartans. Completely made in our Glasgow tailoring workshop. Kilt pin and sporran may be purchased separately.
We can make an 8-yard kilt to most waist and seat sizes, although for gentlemen with larger seat sizes we usually recommend a 9-yard kilt (idea for seat sizes 46″-52″) or a 10-yard kilt (ideal for seat sizes 52″+). Kilt straps on this kilt are set with an allowance of 0.5″ tighter and 1.5″ looser.
Waist: measure firmly around waist at navel height. Note that this will usually be different from you High Street trouser waist size.
Seat: measure loosely around the largest part of the seat area.
Inside leg: measure from the crotch to the desired length. If in doubt, use your tape measure on a pair of well-fitting trousers you already own.
