What is a Great Kilt?

The Great Kilt (or féileadh mòr) is the classic, full-length historical Highland garment most people picture when they think of early Scottish dress.

• Traditionally made from double-width tartan fabric (about 54–60 inches wide).
• Consists of 4-8 yards of material, pleated by hand each time it’s worn.
  **Choose optional Cheater Pleats for easy wear
• The extra fabric above the belt can be draped over the shoulder, used as a hood, wrapped as a cloak, or even as a blanket.
• Provides warmth, protection, and a dramatic appearance, making it ideal for reenactments, Renaissance fairs, and traditional Highland events.
• Heavier and bulkier than an Ancient Kilt or Phillabeg, but with unmatched versatility.

How to measure for your Great Kilt:

• Measure the waist size at your actual waist, where you usually wear your pants.

• Measure from your waist to about the middle of the knee.

• Have someone help you. If you bend even a little while trying to do it yourself, the measurement will change.
