Our Workshops
Explore the cutting, stitching, casting and finishing that go into our Highlandwear and clan crest collections.
Inside our Glasgow workshops
Step inside our Glasgow workshops, where kiltmaking, tailoring, leatherwork and clan crest metalwork come together.
At the cutting table
Fabric is marked and cut with shears, then machined and finished by hand as the garment requires. Careful cutting gives a jacket its line; balanced pleats shape a kilt.
Cloth, leather and metal
Explore the skills behind our Highlandwear, sporrans and accessories.
Highland tailoring
Tartan and tailoring cloth are shaped into kilts, jackets and formalwear, with care given to fit, proportion and the clean fall of the garment.
Sporrans & leatherwork
A sporran is cut, stitched and assembled from leather, lining and fittings selected for the design.
Clan crests & metalwork
We use heraldic artwork as the basis for our clan crest metalwork, retaining the detail of each design as it is adapted for casting and finishing.
From crest to casting
A crest begins as artwork, its fine lines developed through modelling and casting before the piece is polished and finished. The original design guides the detail of the crest and its motto through each stage. The photograph shows molten metal being poured into a mould in our Glasgow workshop.
Materials chosen with care
Our fabrics come exclusively from the finest mills in Scotland and across the UK, selected for their quality, character and drape. Alongside supple leather and finely finished metal, they give our pieces their distinctive feel.
