Traditional hand-sewn kilts are the gold standard for highland dance kilt outfits, and required for Premier-level competitive dancers.  They are are always made with 100% worsted twill-weave wool.  If cared for properly, traditional hand-sewn kilts hold their value after many, many years of wear. 

Our traditional hand-sewn kilts are custom-made with the attention to detail that customers expect and the quality that the tradition deserves. We measure our customers in-person, and we prefer to do a pre-dispense fitting before the liner is installed to verify the fit before the kilt is finished. We work with our customers to plan the design, fit, and adjustability of their kilt based on their individual needs.

Note on yardage requirements: Yardage required will depend on several factors including the wearer’s hip circumference and body shape, the tartan’s sett width, anticipated body changes that may require future alterations, etc.  These factors will be discussed with the customer as part of the process of designing their kilt.  

Please see the Pricing tab for labour prices relative to yardage.
