Homespun Wool Blend Phillabeg

Homespun Wool Blend Phillabeg – Lightweight, Rustic, and Historically Inspired

Whether you call it a phillabeg, phille-bheagh, feilidh-beag, or simply a little kilt, this traditional garment is perfect for warm-weather wear and summer events. The Homespun Wool Blend Phillabeg offers unmatched comfort, breathability, and freedom of movement—making it a favorite for Renaissance fairs, Highland games, reenactments, or casual Celtic gatherings.

Handcrafted in the USA by a skilled kiltmaker, each phillabeg is made from a 55/45 poly/wool blend that’s woven on old-world looms. The result is a soft, rustic tartan with minor natural flaws that enhance its historic appearance. The fabric drapes beautifully and pleats easily using included instructions—or opt for Cheater’s Pleats™ for added convenience.

Custom-made to your exact measurements, this homespun phillabeg combines old-world charm with modern practicality. Please allow 1–3 weeks for delivery.

Sizing:

A 4-yard kilt will fit up to about a 34-inch waist, a 5-yard kilt will fit up to about a 44-inch waist, and a 6-yard kilt will fit up to about a 50-inch waist. If you are larger than this please contact us for pricing on larger kilts. Also, If your waist size is close to one of these limits, consider the next size larger if you want deeper pleats or pleats closer together. For example:

If you have a 34-inch waist, a 4-yard phillabeg will have pleats 1.5 - 2 inches wide and 3-4 inches deep. A 5-yard phillabeg will have pleats approximately 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches deep or 1.5 - 2 inches wide and 6-8 inches deep. In this example, a 6-yard kilt would be overkill with a 34-inch waist, but it would have pleats about 1 inch wide and 6-8 inches deep.

How to measure for your Phillabeg:

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

2) 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.
