Phillabegs

Scottish Phillabegs

The Scottish Phillabeg (also spelled filibeg) is the earliest version of the modern kilt—shorter, unstitched, and easy to wear. Worn around the waist and traditionally pleated by hand, the phillabeg offers historical authenticity with a lighter, more practical fit. Ideal for reenactments, warm-weather wear, or casual Highland gatherings, this garment is a favorite for those who want a genuine Highland look with added comfort and freedom of movement.

Crafted from homespun wool-blend or premium wool tartans, our phillabegs come in a variety of Scottish clan and universal tartans. Add a belt and accessories to complete your traditional outfit.
