Medium Weight Irish Phillabeg – A Traditional Kilt with Authentic Irish Flair
Step into history with this custom-made Irish Phillabeg, the ancestor of the modern kilt. Woven from medium weight (12/13 oz) premium wool tartan, this rugged and traditional “little kilt” is perfect for Renaissance festivals, Highland games, Irish fairs, or casual wear. With its roots in the 1600s, the Phillabeg is designed for comfort, style, and authenticity.
Made in the USA from Scottish-woven tartan, this kilt offers a crisp pleat and better drape than lightweight options. It measures approximately 25" wide and is pleated each time you wear it—or you can choose Cheater Pleats™ for convenience. Most tartans are double-width and may include a center seam, which is easily hidden in a pleat.
Whether you choose 4, 5, or 6 yards based on your waist and pleat preference, this Phillabeg is a highly customizable, historically inspired piece that keeps tradition alive in every detail.
