    Historical Significance

    The Affara Tartan is deeply rooted in the heritage of Clan Donald, one of Scotland's largest and most influential clans. Known for their formidable presence in Scottish history, Clan Donald's legacy includes notable figures such as John of Islay and the Lords of the Isles. This tartan serves as a symbol of the clan's rich history, representing their courage and resilience through its striking colors and pattern. Tartan weaving dates back to the 16th century, making it a significant aspect of Scottish cultural identity and pride.

    Color Scheme & Pattern

    The Affara Tartan features a vibrant royal blue base interwoven with bold green, yellow, and black lines. The striking blue symbolizes loyalty and trust, essential qualities among clan members. The green reflects the strong ties to the Scottish Highlands and the natural beauty of the land, while the yellow lines represent optimism and warmth. The black adds contrast and depth, symbolizing strength and stability. Crafted from 100% acrylic wool, this tartan offers both durability and comfort, making it a perfect choice for honoring Scotland's natural heritage in both formal and everyday wear.

    Size Guide

    it’s very important to know how to measure your Kilt size before buying a Kilt, Fortunately it’s super easy to do, and we only need four measurements. You’ll need a tailor’s measuring tape, which you can get at any sewing or craft store if you don’t already have one. Don’t use a metal tape measure! You also want a Trusty Assistant to help.

    Also, and this is super important, do not use your pants measurements! They are lying to you about your waist size and can not be trusted. 

    I wear a 34 in Levis but my kilts range from 36-39 inches, depending on where I wear it. If you send us your jeans waist size your kilt won’t fit and you’ll be a sad panda. 

    Okay, here we go! Please check the video



    1. Waist

    Blue Line Decide where you’d like to wear your kilt. You can wear it up at your natural waist, which is a wee bit above your belly button, and higher than guys tend to wear their pants nowadays. You can also wear your kilt lower, closer to the hips like your jeans or shorts. It’s up to you and what you find most comfortable. Having said that, if you’re a Gentleman of Substance I generally suggest wearing your kilt higher up. It’s much more flattering than having the waistband under your stomach, and the front of the kilt will hang nicely.

    Alrighty then! Take your measuring tape and run it around yourself where you want the top of your kilt to sit. Do pull it just slightly snug. Not tight, just snug. Stand straight and let things fall where they may. No sucking in or pushing out of the gut.

    2. Hip – Red Line

    Measure loosely around the widest part of your backside. How do you know where the widest part is? Stand with your back to a wall and slowly back up. The bit that touches the wall first is where you want your Trusty Assistant to measure.

    3.  Distance between waist and Hip

    Run the tape from where you measured your waist to where you measured your hip. The pleats will be sewn down along the fell, which is part of what gives a kilt it’s unique swish and swing when you move.

    4. Kilt Length – Green Line

    A kilt is worn roughly at the knee. If you like a very traditional look then you’ll want to have your kilt at the top of your knee. If you’re not one for rules and like your kilt to ride low on your hips then you might like to have it at the bottom of your knee. In the photos above, my kilt is right about mid-knee because that’s how I roll. Okay, stand nice and straight and have your Trusty Assistant measure down your side from where you took your waist measurement to the spot on your knee where you want the hem of your kilt to fall. Done and done.

    Remember, these measurements are important and need to be accurate. Measure twice, then measure a third time to be sure. If it feels like something isn’t right, or if you have any questions, please let me know.
