To Wear
the Kilt is My
Delight!
|
There is no
question about it. The best and most dramatic way for you to show your pride in
your tartan is to wear it in a kilt. We are dedicated to bringing you the
highest quality in craftsmanship. Each kilt we sell is entirely hand pleated,
hand stitched, and tailor made to your measurements by some of the finest and
most experienced Scottish kilt makers. These are the highest quality kilts
that money can buy -- we would not offer anything less.
There are many
options and varieties for your kilt. Because each kilt is made to measure, and many options are
available as far as tartan, color scheme, kilt weight, and pleating, we are not
able to offer our kilts via a "one-click" shopping cart system. To order
your kilt, it is best to phone us at (828)524-7472 between the hours of 10am and
5pm Monday through Saturday, or email us at
tartans@scottishtartans.org for more information. We think it is
important to actually talk with you before ordering this heirloom item.

4
YARD "CASUAL" KILTS<-- click for more
An inexpensive option intended for
casual wear, which can also be dressed up if needs be. Knife pleated and
made just as our standard kilts, the pleats are not as deep and are machine
stitched. The light kilt weight is not recommended for gentlemen, but
makes an excellent skirt for a lady looking for a more kilt-like garment than
the typical kilted skirt. These kilts are made in Scotland, from 100%
worsted wool kilting cloth.

4 YARD BOX PLEATED KILTS<--
click for more
The original tailored kilt of the
late eighteenth century, up through the middle of the nineteenth century, was
made from four yards of cloth and box pleated, rather than knife pleated.
Our own museum curator is now making this style of kilt, and it is a very good
option for both those seeking a less expensive kilt, as well as those looking
for a more historic garment. These kilts are made in North Carolina by
Matthew Newsome, from 100% worsted wool kilting cloth woven in Scotland.
