Our made-to-measure kilts start at £640, while a full outfit begins at £1,400. Pricing can vary depending on your chosen options, and our team is always available to guide you through the best combination for your style and budget.
Every kilt we make uses 100% worsted wool, woven in either a medium (13oz) or heavy (16oz) weight depending on your chosen tartan and mill. This ensures high quality and durability for every garment.
The heavier 16oz kilt uses a denser wool, making it slightly thicker and weightier than the 13oz option. Both weights offer a traditional look, so the choice mainly comes down to personal comfort and feel.
For light freshening, use a fabric spray and gently steam with an iron – but never place the iron directly on the fabric. For stains or deeper cleaning, take your kilt to a dry cleaner experienced in handling wool kilts; never wash a kilt in a machine.
All our garments – kilts, jackets, and full outfits – are made to order by experienced kiltmakers. Depending on the season, standard kilts typically take 6–8 weeks, handmade kilts around 10–12 weeks, and complete outfits up to 14 weeks. Once your order is placed, we’ll confirm timelines and keep you informed of any updates along the way.
The Prince Charlie outfit is a timeless choice for formal occasions like weddings. Argyll and Glen Orchy outfits have a more contemporary black tie feel, while our Ghillie Shirt outfit offers a relaxed look – ideal for weddings in warmer climates.
Our kilt packages include everything you need except for the shirt and tie. You’ll receive a kilt, jacket, waistcoat, sporran and chain strap, socks, ghillie brogues, flashes, sgian dubh, and kilt pin. You can also customise or upgrade individual items for an additional charge.
