Irish Casual Kilts
Irish
kilts and Irish tartans are fairly recent modern inventions, but are no
less important as a way of celebrating your Irish heratage. Irish kilts
are becoming increasingly popular, and it's no wonder - everyone agrees
that a good lookin' Irishman looks even better in a kilt!
The Casual Kilt is a great
option if you want a nice looking kilt without spending as much money.
Nearly identical in appearance to our formal kilts, casual kilts are machine
stitched instead of hand stitched (less traditional, but in our opinion
actually more durable), and made with less tartan. The average casual
kilt is made from 5-6 yards of fabric compared to 8-9 yards in a formal
kilt. The end result is a kilt with pleats that are shallower and wider,
but still looks great. With less tartan, a casual kilt is lighter and
more comfortable for all day wear.
Our casual kilts are made to order in Scotland, so please allow 8-12
weeks for delivery.

Premium
Wool Irish Casual Kilts
Made from 100% pure new
wool tartan, woven and made in Scotland. We use three different
weavers/kiltmakers, depending on tartan availability: Strathmore,
Lochcarron, and House of Edgar.
Light
Weight Premium Wool Casual Kilt
KC011
$350
Made
from light weight 10/11oz premium wool tartan. Makes a good kilt,
and the light weight is especially nice for hot weather wear, but
if your tartan is available, we recommend a medium weight kilt.
NOTE Most light weight Irish tartans are not woven with a
kilting selvedge, so kilts will be hemmed. (It still looks great
though. You won't know the difference). Made to order in Scotland
with at least 4 yards of tartan.
Special order.
Please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery. Hip sizes 48+ add $30. Hip
sizes 56+ add $60.
Medium Weight Premium Wool Casual Kilt
KC013
$375
Made from medium weight 12/13oz premium wool tartan. We always recommend
a medium weight kilt if your tartan is available. Medium weight
tartan will hang better and take a crisper pleat than light weight
tartan, while still being light and comfortable to wear. It just
makes a better all around kilt.
Made
to order in Scotland with at least 4 yards of tartan. Special
order. Please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery. Hip sizes 48+ add
$30. Hip sizes 56+ add $60.
Medium Weight Old & Rare Premium Wool Casual Kilt
KCOR
$400
Made from medium weight 12/13oz premium wool tartan. We always recommend
a medium weight kilt if your tartan is available. Medium weight
tartan will hang better and take a crisper pleat than light weight
tartan, while still being light and comfortable to wear. It just
makes a better all around kilt.

order. Please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery. Hip sizes 48+ add
$30. Hip sizes 56+ add $60.
Heavy Weight Premium Wool Casual Kilt
KC016
$425
Made
from heavy weight 15/16oz premium wool tartan. Pipe bands and military
regiments love heavy weight tartan for it's durability, and the
way it hangs and sways as you walk is impressive. If you really
have your heart set on a heavy weight kilt though, you probably
should not be buying a casual kilt. Spend the extra money and get
a formal kilt - you will be glad you did.
Made to order in Scotland with at least 4 yards of tartan. Special
order. Please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery. Hip sizes 48+ add
$50. Hip sizes 56+ add $100.

How
To Measure for Your Kilt:
1)
Measure your waist size in inches at the navel (belly button). This
is the traditional kilt waist.
Alternatively, many men prefer to wear their Casual Kilts at the pants
waist. If this is what you choose, then measure comfortably around
your waist where the top of your pants rest. Or, If you intend to
wear your kilt mostly for formal occasions, and you have a bit more
around the middle than you might like to have, you may want to measure
a little higher than the navel to get over the crest of the "beer
gut". The higher waist is more formal, but it will help your
kilt stay up where it belongs.
2) Measure around your hips at the fullest point (usually 6-8
inches below the waist).
3) Measure from your waist (kilt waist or pants waist accordingly)
to about the middle of the knee. This is usually best done with some
help because if you bend over even a bit, your measurement will not
be correct.
4) Your height. |
