The original Scottish Kilt dates back to the 16th century where they once had practical appeal. Kilts were worn almost exclusively by soldiers in the beginning because of their thick wool, long lengths and open bodies that allowed for warmth and easy freedom of movement. There were no kilt factories back then, and each kilt was made carefully by hand with pride. Over time, they became a symbol of the heritage and culture of Scotland and began to be worn by everyone.
As time has passed, the long-standing history and art of making kilts has fallen to the wayside in favor of manufactured kilts that have lost their richness and quality. Generic styles are constantly churned out by machines and are made with cheap materials that don't look and feel like the real thing.
At Scottish Kilt, we find that unacceptable. We believe that Scots should take pride in their culture, and that means taking pride in their traditional Scottish dress by wearing premium kilts that reflect that history and honor it all the same. We return kilt making to its original process by creating each one by hand using high-quality materials that you'll be proud to own.
Kilts Made the Traditional Way
When kilts were first made back in the 16th century, there were no factories or manufacturing plants. Each kilt was made by hand by a tailor specifically for the man or boy who was going to wear it. Great care was taken to ensure that the kilt fit perfectly and was a proud symbol of the wearer's lineage.
The first kilt-makers were artists in their own right, but over the years, the art of kilt making has been largely lost. Manufacturing has shifted from the tailor shop to the factory with work being done by machines and generic styles being churned out along assembly lines. As a result, the level of quality one can expect from a kilt has sharply declined.
Scottish Kilt was founded as a return to the traditional method of kilt making. All of our mens kilts are made by hand by our team of 10 tailors out of the absolute best materials. Like the artisans of the past, we make our kilts to measure to your exact specifications. While we take the time to hand make your kilt especially for you, we can still ship it right to your door within 2 to 3 weeks.
What We Carry
When you mention kilts to a person, most commonly the traditional kilt is what will come to mind. Because the kilt originated with scottish tartans materials and represented the clans and families that each Scotsman came from, it is these historical kilts that serve as the main symbol of Scotland. Often, people will not consider the other types of kilts that are out there. While in the beginning that was true, that is not so anymore.
At Scottish Kilt Shop, we offer a large variety of kilts outside of standard tartan kilts. We also offer cotton kilts that feature just as much functionality and storage as they offer style, as well as hybrid kilts that combine the best of both worlds between tartan and utility kilts. Mens leather kilt, denim kilts & tactical kilts are also available for those who want to express their personalities through kilt wearing in a different way and for those who want more options when it comes to where and when you can wear these kilts.
Our Beliefs
Beside our passionate beliefs about kilt wearing and manufacturing, we believe that owning a proper Scottish kilt is crucial. Every proud Scot deserves a kilt they will feel proud of wearing whether you are sporting full kilt dress or are just going out on the town for a day. With our policy surrounding hand making each kilt, we create high-quality kilts that feel great and look even better. We strive to create kilts that will not only satisfy the expectations you have for them, but kilts that will exceed them as well.
We'll Help You Spread the Love
We love our culture and society as much as any other Scot, and we strive to promote them as often as we can. Our appreciation for other people and organizations that attempt to help society or bring Scottish history back into the modern age is something that we are happy to show and not just talk about. Because of this, we help any organization, whether it is commercial or not, by creating low-cost kilts that help them to achieve their mission of spreading culture or assisting in the betterment of our society in any way. This includes those who support and promote the Scottish Highland Games or even those who raise money to fight against cancer and everyone else in between. If you are socially contributing, we want to help you.
Quality Kilts at Unbeatable Prices
We are passionate about giving every single person who wants to wear a kilt the ability to do so.

Luxurious Materials
We want the kilts we make for you to feel as comfortable as possible while looking their best, and it is for that reason that we use only premium materials in the design and completion of each kilt. Our utility kilts for men are especially soft, thanks to their 100 percent sapphire cotton composition that is remarkably breathable, making them ideal for wear even during sweltering summer days. While offering the softness and breeziness of standard cotton, this particular type of cotton is also remarkably durable and rugged, able to resist wear and tear due to the tight, abrasion-resistant weaving process.
Custom-Made Designs
Our kilts are not only fashioned out of the highest quality materials and made into versatile styles, but we also offer the ability to further customize our kilts. Our casual kilts offer a vast selection of colors, patterns and cuts than you would find lined up in a brick and kilt shop, giving you access to more options to express who you are. With these kilts, we also offer you the chance to include the different types of hardware that you prefer, such as buttons and loops, and you cannot only pick the type but also the metal they are fashioned out of.
Besides the kilts themselves, we also offer different scottish kilt accessories that you can use to make your look stand out more or to achieve a full Scottish kilt dress. This includes a variety of different scottish sporrans made from just as many materials, kilt hose, kilt flashes, scottish hats, kilt shoes & more. In this way, you can achieve traditional Scottish kilt dress by curating matching pieces from one single shop to save you plenty of time and money.

We want to ensure that you fall in love with everything about your kilt, not just in the way that it looks but also in the way that it fits as well. For this reason, we make every kilt specifically to your measurements to ensure that you get a perfect fit as soon as you pull it out of the box.
