US Air Force Tartan Ancient Kilt
Honor your service and heritage with our US Air Force Tartan Ancient Kilt, available in homespun lightweight wool blend, lightweight premium wool, or medium-weight premium wool. Expertly crafted in Scotland, each kilt is made to your exact measurements for an impeccable fit and authentic drape.
Choose from 6, 8, or 10 yards to suit your preference—whether you’re looking for a lighter, more casual kilt or a full, traditional pleat. Perfect for military events, Highland games, or simply showing your pride, this kilt combines tradition, quality, and a unique connection to the US Air Force.
Each kilt is handmade in the USA at The Celtic Croft by our skilled kiltmaker.
Homespun is a fabric that is woven in a traditional, rustic style, often on a loom that produces a looser weave with slight irregularities for an authentic, hand-made look.
Premium Wool is tightly woven for crisp pleats and a smooth, uniform surface — no rustic irregularities like homespun.

What Makes It “Ancient”?
The Ancient Kilt is essentially a Phillabeg with 2–3 extra yards of tartan attached, used as a built-in fly plaid. Unlike a Great Kilt, it does not include extra fabric above the belt, making it lighter and easier to wear.
About the Homespun Fabric:
Our homespun tartan is a 55/45 poly/wool blend, woven by hand on traditional looms. It features a looser weave and rustic character, with natural variations like slubs, pulls, and slight imperfections that give it an authentic historical feel. At approximately 9–10 oz., it provides a solid drape without being too heavy.
Sizing Options:
-
6-yard kilt fits up to 38" waist
-
8-yard kilt fits up to 48" waist
-
10-yard kilt fits up to 60" waist
If you're close to the maximum for a size, consider sizing up for better pleating and comfort.
Pleating Options:
All kilts come with pleating instructions. Add Cheater Pleats™ to have your kilt pre-pleated and ready to wear. Please note: kilts with Cheater Pleats™ are considered custom orders.
This is a custom-order item. Please allow 4–6 weeks for delivery.
