Description

Medium Weight Great Kilt

We make these greatkilts from medium weight (12/13 oz.) premium wool tartan, woven in Wales, 54″ wide. Medium weight tartan will hang better and take a crisper pleat than light weight tartan. 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.

Pleating instructions are included with each kilt. Traditionally these kilts are pleated 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 also select Cheater Pleats™ as an additional option.

Custom-order. Please allow 4-6 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 yd greatkilt will have pleats 1.5 – 2 inches wide and 3-4 inches deep. A 5 yd greatkilt 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 yd greatkilt would be overkill with a 34 inch waist, but it would have pleats about 1 inch wide and 6-8 inches deep.

4 yds, $419 (fits up to a 34in waist)
5 yds, $519 (fits up to a 44in waist)
6 yds, $619 (fits up to a 50in waist)
