A traditional kilt is constructed using woven wool tartan that is carefully measured, cut, and pleated to create a structured garment with a flat front and pleated back. The fabric is wrapped around the body, with the front forming overlapping aprons and the back hand-pleated to maintain consistent pattern alignment and allow for movement. The pleats are stitched down through the fell—the upper portion of the kilt where the pleats are sewn to hold their shape—while the lower sections of the pleats remain free to hang and move naturally. A structured waistband is added to support the garment, along with straps and buckles for fastening and adjustment, and internal elements such as canvas interfacing may be used to reinforce durability and shape.
