Traditional 8-Yard Kilt, Made in Glasgow

Our traditional eight-yard kilt is made to measure in our Glasgow workshop from approximately eight yards of worsted wool tartan. Choose machine-stitched and hand-finished or fully hand-stitched construction; our tailors will advise if a different cloth quantity better suits the wearer’s measurements and chosen tartan.

Choose the construction

  • Machine-stitched and hand-finished: our classic eight-yard construction, carefully finished by hand. Seven, nine or ten yards can be arranged where measurements or the tartan sett call for a different cloth quantity.
  • Fully hand-stitched: an eight-yard kilt sewn by hand from start to finish; nine yards can be arranged where advised.
