Rent the full outfit and all you need to supply is a white dress shirt and black dress shoes!  The kilt hose are available for purchase separately, in a variety of colors, prices begin at $19.95.

A dress sgian dubh can be provided for an additional $3 for an individual rental.  If you are renting two or more kilts we will gladly include sgian dubhs free of charge -- just ask!  (Subject to availability.  Our rental sgian dubhs are made from one solid sheath and handle, and have no blade).

We ship all rentals by FedEx.  You pay the actual shipping costs to you, and are responsible for return shipping.  All items are due back 5 days after they arrive (not including Sundays or Postal holidays).  For instance, items delivered on a Friday are due back to us the next Thursday.  (Please read our standard kilt rental policy before ordering.)*

Our kilts are made from the finest Scottish tartan cloth, medium kilting weight (13 oz), and each individually hand pleated and hand stitched, for the finest craftsmanship.

Below are pictured our two available tartans.  Both are general use tartans that anyone can proudly wear.  Please click on the image for a closer view.  Watch for more tartans to become available as we grow!
 
 

BLACK WATCH
Black Watch
Truly an old and traditional tartan, the Black Watch was appointed for use by the Highland Companies in 1725 and later adopted by the Black Watch regiment (from which it gets its name) in 1739.  The same sett is used as the Campbell clan tartan, and as a hunting tartan by many clans, such as Grant and Munro.  Also called the "government tartan" it is commonly used for general wear by any Scot or person with Scottish affinities.
NATIONAL MILLENNIUM
NATIONAL MILLENNIUM
Designed in 1998 to commemorate the dawn of the third millennium in the year 2000, this commemorative tartan is a beautiful one that cam be worn by any Scot or person of Scottish affinity.  A bit more color than the Black Watch, this tartan can add a festive splash to any Scottish occasion.

This sporran comes with each of our kilt rentals!

Our special "grooms" sporran is available upon request at no extra charge.  Limit one per party, subject to availability.

* Items not returned by their due date will be subject to a second rental fee.  If the items are not returned one week after the original due date, the renter will be charged the full replacement cost of the items.  Click here for our standard kilt rental agreement.

“I do not prize the word 'cheap.' It is not a badge of honor. It is a symbol of despair. Cheap prices make for cheap goods; cheap goods make for cheap men; and cheap men make for a cheap country.” -- Wm. McKinley, 25th President of the United States, Scottish descendant.
