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!

Sizing:

4 Yard Fits up to 38″ Waist
5 Yard Fits up to a 48″ Waist 
6 Yard Fits up to a 60″ 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.

Pleat your own or Cheater Pleats™

We include pleating instructions with each kilt. Traditionally, you pleat these kilts each time you wear them. We ask for size information to be sure that your kilt will fit you correctly, but we do not pleat the kilt for you unless you add Cheater Pleats™  as an Added Option. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery.  If you add Cheater Pleats™ to your kilt, it becomes a custom-made item. Custom-order terms and conditions apply.
