Our premium grade kilt is hand-made in Scotland from the finest materials. Recognised worldwide as kiltmakers of the highest distinction, Balmoral produce superb garments to give you many years of pride and pleasure. That's real value.
Instant charisma
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. We normally pleat 'to sett' which most kilt wearers prefer, but just ask for pleats to stripe or to horizontal at no extra charge! Or we offer military box pleats for a 50 pound surcharge.

Scotweb’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.
I received my kilt package a full two month's before my wedding. When it arrived it was just what I wanted for my big day. I had a bout with diverticulitis and lost about 18 lbs that month,what a nightmare.I had to find someone in my home town to alter the kilt and coat, I did so and the day I got to where my kilt package was the best day in my life. I got married in the sierra foothills of CA. on a privet lake in May of 09. Thank you for the prompt dispatched, I will be look forward to my next perches of a 8 yard Irish Tipperary Co tartan kilt. Again you made my day very special. Thank you Eric Hanzelka Carmel Valley CA.

Worth the wait. Even worth the 18% duty canada customs slapped on. When I first got this I brought it to my mom's (who is a seamstress) to just make sure was like it should be, and she was very impressed by the quality of the work, everything is finished nicely, including on the inside. I really like the tartan, as you can see there, it's in Wilson Modern from Lochcarron. Honestly, Balmoral Scotweb put out a good product, I have been wearing this around and people are really stunned by how well I pull it off, so maybe there is a bit of "me making the kilt look good"...but there is no doubt the kilt makes me look good too! :) The service was good as well, this was a time sensitive and they were more than willing to work with me to be reasonable and meet deadlines. Much thanks.

My traditonal 8 yard Balmoral kilt is by far the most expensive single garment I have ever purchased, it is also the best value for money garment I have and easily the highest quality. I cannot fault anything about it at all. The staff at Scotweb have been fantastic and very knowledgable in helping out an ignorant Englishman with no apparent family connection to Scotland at all. As there is no Scots connection and there was no tartan in my family name I went for Spirit of Scotland Modern as my tartan of choice, it is beautiful. The kilt itself is just so comfortable and a very substantial and well made garment. My initial nervousness on first wearing it out in public soon dissappeared as I felt that great confidence boosting "swish". And I can honestly say I have never had so much attention from the opposite sex on a night out in town (and that despite my good lady being with me). A couple of people have asked me why on Earth I would want a kilt when I have no Scots blood in me at all, well all I can say is that until you try it don't knock it, it is the most comfortable thing I have worn, love it to bits. Okay I'm not Scottish, not even remotely Celt by the look of it, but I don't care, I will wear my kilt with pride. Many thanks Scotweb.

What a beautifully crafted kilt! It's everything I could have ever hoped for, the eight-yard is such an indulgence. After having worn this any other kilt would be a let down - I'm afraid I will only be able to buy them here from now on.

I received my kilt in great time, even though it was a custom weave. It is a well built 16 oz. weight kilt. The pleating is well done, pleated to sett with the lines matching perfectly.

I just recieved my Kilt, it arrived a little late, had a few delays, but it was well worth it. It is of the most excellent quality, and my boyd tartan is the most beautiful one in the world to my eyes, and also, my flashes make me stand out, as all of my companions that are kilted have a standard color flash.

Yesterday, I received my traditional 8 yard Balmoral Kilt with flashes,....a full 2 weeks before the expected dispatch date. Since the day I first ordered it I would go to the "Member's Area" daily, to see the status of my order. I was like a child counting the days before Christmas. This past weekend was a national holiday here in the States (July 4th, Independence Day) and my access to the internet was interupted all weekend long. When I went to work on Monday I immediately went to the Scotweb site to check the status of my order. My heart took a leap when I saw that my kilt was dispatched on the previous Friday. I was glad that I took advantage of the "Priority International Courier", which allows you to track your order when it is dispatched (well worth the cost). The tracking option told me that my kilt was scheduled to arrive that very day. I quickly made an excuse to go home (shhhhh,....don't tell anyone) so I could be there when it arrived. When I finally got home there was a note on my door that told me I just missed the delivery (the Priority International Courier has a clause for a signature which doesn't allow a package to be left unattended, which, considering the cost of the kilt is very wise.) I then jumped in my car and made the trip to the delivery carrier office and waited for the truck to return from it's rounds of deliveries. When it finally returned, I retrieved my package, went out to the parking lot, opened it, and tried on my new kilt, right then and there!!! This is my second kilt ordered from Scotweb (my first being the 5 yard casual Balmoral kilt-16 oz. weight). Immediately, I noticed the differences. The pleats were tighter, the 11 oz. weight was about the same as my previous order (at least to my eye), the quality and craftsmanship were consistant with the casual kilt, but somehow looked smarter. I knew that the casual kilt would be my casual wear but this 11 oz. traditional 8 yard Balmoral Kilt would be my "dress-up-and-look-good" more formal wear. To be honest, both kilts are great for any function, but the 8 yard kilt has added more kick to my swagger. It pays to but the best. What are you waiting for????

I purchased my Gunn tartan kilt for my wedding. What a great choice! My wife was hard pressed to outshine me at the altar.
