Description
Homespun Wool Blend Phillabeg
Whether you call it a phillabeg, phille-bheagh, feilidh-beag, or a little kilt, you will love this light and comfortable kilt. Perfect for any summer event or warmer weather, this phillabeg provides maximum freedom of movement.
Beyond the practical, it is also beautiful. It is made in the USA by a very talented kilt maker from a 55/45 poly/wool fabric blend that’s been homespun on an old-world loom. This gives it a historic and rustic aesthetic with minor flaws that add character. Custom-made to your measurements, this kilt pleats easily, and instructions are included. Alternatively, Cheater’s Pleats™ are available.
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-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.

Color, quality, and value are excellent. Just a bit too warm for me here in Northeast Florida. Looking forward to the Fall and Winter. Would absolutely recommend.

I had already purchased and worn the Ancient Kilt, but I wanted something that I could wear in a more casual way. This Phillabeg was the perfect solution. I intentionally purchased it without pleats and in the homespun wool fabric so that it was a bit more authentic. (And because I was tired of buying utility type kilts that ended up being too big or small when I gained or lost weight) With the fold it yourself style, I can make this fit the way I want on any given day. And, the process of folding and the laying on the fabric in order to belt it up, makes me feel like I have a connection with the Scots of old. (Where’s my Claymore?) My opinion is that you can’t go wrong with this kilt, it looks and feels authentic. Just keep in mind, dry clean only.
