Because it’s heavier, it my not be as light and comfortable to wear as homespun, poly/viscose, or light weight (10/11 oz.) premium wool tartan.

The Great kilt and a bit O’history
The great kilt being a double width allows the bottom to be pleated while the rest is thrown up on the shoulders or tucked into the waist band to create its cape like hood to be protected from Y’Fine Scottish weather. When the sun shined the extra fabric could be wrapped and tucked into the waist to create loops and folds that were used to shove your kill of the day, or other items. The great kilt was used as a form on clothing The great kilt enjoyed popularity until the Act of 1746 banned all forms of Highland Dress.
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.
- The length measurement is really only relevant if you are adding Cheater Pleats, but the form above asks for it regardless, so you might as well do it right!

Thank you for my Weir Ancient Color Great Kilt. The colors are fan fantastic. My research indicates that you did a near perfect match and I could not ask for better. I have Weir modern short formal kilt that I got for my daughter’s wedding, her choice. Now have Argyl jacket and waistcoat. My great kilt from you will be the perfect completion of my kilts in addition to my Stumptown recreation Kilts. Your stick figure ling drawing of how to fold the great Kilt is nice but lacking. Have you considered making a youtube video? I have seen a couple, nice but too much history and melodrama. Could you make one that simply stays on task, with just enough very light music. Yours with blessings, Ralph
