About
Just because you want to wear your kilt more casually doesn't mean you have to compromise on quality. Every detail of this superb garment will be made for you exactly as you require. You have my word on that.Dr Nick Fiddes, Founder
Manley Richardson is renowned as Scotland's most exquisite tailors of fully bespoke kilts and hightlandwear. Made with incomparable attention to detail, this Bespoke Casual Kilt is hand-sewn to the same exacting standards as all Manley Richardson kilts. But as the shallower pleats demand less fabric and a lower waist, this exclusive garment is ideal for daily wear and less formal occasions.
Be guided by the founder's recommended specification, in the certainty of utter satisfaction. Or request your own finishing details. The world's most expert tailors delight in producing individual garments to the most exacting demands.
Fabrics
Your kilt will be fully hand-stitched from around five yards of pure new wool fabric (or other materials on request) from only the finest Scottish mills. Thousands of traditional tartans can be supplied, or you can even create your own design.
Pleating
Most customers prefer conventional rear pleating 'to the sett'. But if you prefer your kilt pleated to stripe, to horizontal, or perhaps box pleating or some other special arrangement, just ask. There's no extra charge.
Fringes
The front edge of the Manley Richardson kilt apron normally has two fringes. But if you prefer a single fringe, three fringes, or even four, our tailors will happily comply.
Lining
The garment's normal specification includes a finely embroidered monogram kilt lining, in addition to a robust canvas waist lining. But if you would prefer to choose your own lining colour, we will strive to find a close match.
Straps
We normally fit two leather straps on the waist, and one on the hip. Each strap is made from premium grade leather in a choice of colours to suit the material, and each is subtly embossed with the Manley Richardson monogram. But if you prefer plain straps, or a leather tone of your own choice, just ask.
Buckles
As standard we offer a no-cost choice of a stylish modern pewter buckle, or one in a more traditional style. But you may prefer to select from a range of alternative finishes, such as silver or gold plated metalwork.
Belt Loops
Two belt (or sporran strap) loops constructed from your chosen tartan are stoutly sewn to the rear as standard, carefully tartan-matched to near-invisibility. But if you'd prefer more, fewer, or none, just say.
Basting
Due to our tailor's custom pleating process, we normally add no basting stitching for transport, to avoid unnecessary inconvenience on arrival. But if you prefer basting, just specify... even how many rows you would like.
Every Manley Richardson kilt is fully hand-stitched as standard by the world's most expert kiltmakers. A kilt is a lifetime's investment. So treat yourself to the finest kilt on earth!

Tweed kilts are not so common, but this is a family tradition and I wanted the extra finish of a Manley Richardson kilt. Admittedly I had to wait a few months, but it was worthwhile. I now wear with pride a unique masterpiece. Thank you again Scotweb! Austin_10070137 , Japan

I received this 5 yard kilt a little while ago. I have to say this quality is beyond my expectation. The sewing is great and it fits so well. i'm really impressed by the skills of the tailors at Manley Richardson. Of course the service provided at this site is excellent too, since I received this shipment much sooner than expected from the shipping date. Anonymous
