About

This finely tailored, hand-made black kilt will make a real impression for any formal, semi-formal or business event - you can dress it up with a coloured tie, jacket and other accessories, or choose an understated monochrome ensemble with a white or black shirt.

Our premium grade kilt is hand-made in Scotland from top quality medium weight Pure New Wool. Recognised worldwide as kiltmakers of the highest distinction, Balmoral produce superb garments to give you many years of pride and pleasure. The full eight yards means crisp deep pleats, for that real kilt swing as you move. Discover how your kilt makes you new friends wherever you go.

Technical Details

Your kilt combines hand-stitching and machine stitching for the best possible results, though if you prefer the slight uneven character full hand-stitching is available as an option. For a perfect hang, we fit two sturdy leather straps and buckles on the waist, and one on the hip. The front edge has two fringes in the authentic tradition (see image right) and we add two belt loops at the back so it all stays neat.

I need more advice - how can I get help?

We have three main ways of giving you extra information:

Where can I find more in-depth information about kilts & tartans?

Kilts and Tartan Made EasyScotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.

As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.
