Kilt Hire

Macgregor and MacDuff’s exclusive Mist range is available to hire and includes tartans like Islay Mist, Arran Mist, Harris Mist, Lomond Mist, Oban Mist, and Silver Mist. In addition, we offer seven other hire tartans in a variety of colours including Blackwatch, Modern MacKenzie, Scotland Forever, Blue Ramsey, Hunting MacGregor, Highland Granite, and Hebridean Heather – plus, we also provide a flexible hire option that lets you select from over 4,000 tartans typically reserved for purchase.

We offer seven jacket options for hire, covering both modern and classic styles. These include contemporary tweeds such as Arran, Tarbert, Lomond, and Glen Orchy, as well as traditional black Argyll jackets (with or without a waistcoat) and the Prince Charlie, available with a 3- or 5-button waistcoat.

There’s no security deposit required at the time of booking, but your authorisation is needed to cover any lost or damaged garments unless you’ve taken out Accidental Damage Waiver. Individual hires must be paid for at the time of measuring, and wedding party balances are due four weeks before collection.

We require two forms of ID. One must be photographic (either a valid passport or driving licence), and the other must confirm your address within the last three months – such as a bank or utility bill, either printed or digital.

We recommend booking your outfit at least 12 weeks ahead of your event to ensure tartan and sizing availability. You’ll also have a chance to recheck your measurements around four weeks before the big day. While we can handle last-minute bookings – even on the day of your event – they depend on stock availability and may incur a rush fee.

Yes, all hires must be booked in advance. During your appointment, you’ll try on a sample kilt and jacket for sizing purposes, although the tartan you choose won’t be available to try on at that stage.

Not directly with us – but online kilt hire is available through our sister company, MacGregor and MacDuff Kiltmakers.

Our standard hire period is four days. If you’re collecting from one of our shops, your outfit will be ready two days before your event. For postal hires, we aim to deliver at least four days in advance to give you time to try everything on and request any changes if needed.

Yes, extended hires are available for an additional 10% per day beyond the initial four-day hire. Just speak to our team for a quote tailored to your hire length.

If an item is lost, stolen, or damaged (outside of Accidental Damage Waiver cover), the cost will be charged to the hirer. Heavy soiling may result in a cleaning fee of up to £20, and in severe cases, we may require full replacement costs. Unreturned hires may be escalated to debt collection.

Our sizes range from toddler outfits starting at 18 months up to adults with a 60” waist or chest. Fit may vary depending on the style, so if you’re outside these measurements, visit us in store and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

Absolutely. You can rent individual components such as a jacket, waistcoat, or kilt, as well as accessories like sporrans, belts, or brogues.
