CLEARANCE! Traditional Kilt – Premium 6–8 Yard Wool, Gunn Modern 47x17
How to measure for a kilt
For Men's or Women's Kilts
Follow the following guide based on measuring from the video:
Traditional Tartan Kilts:
The size stated on each kilt is the smallest setting on the buckle straps (a size 36 adjusts from a 36 up to just under a 40). Depending on where you want the buckle to end on your waist will determine your size. A good rule of thumb to follow is to go down 2 inches from your measured waist size. That will put you in the middle of the buckle straps (i.e. 40 measured would order a 38).
These apply to all traditional kilst with the exception of the made in Scotland.
Returns
If you follow our measuring video in the videos section below, you will get a kilt that fits. However, if for whatever reason it does not, UT Kilts has the best and easiest return policy.
How to measure for a kilt with out measuring the waist.
Use this when giving a gift or other situation where you are not able to measure their waist.
GOOD RULE OF THUMB IN SIZING:
When you are measuring a pair of pants to determine sizing, it should be around 3-4 inches bigger than what the jeans size says (some sizes closer to 30 are only 2 inches bigger). You should only use this option as a last resort if personally measuring the person is not possible. DO NOT USE THIS OPTION IF YOU CAN MEASURE YOURSELF. Save yourself the time and just do it right the first time!
If for some reason you are just not able to measure anything, you can make a good guess at which size they would need. I would go up one sizes if guessing, i.e. 40 will go to a 42 size kilt. This is only a guess and does not replace at least trying to measure if possible.

Built for Honor. Worn with Pride.
Our Premium Wool Kilts are made from woolen wool, known for its natural texture and body compared to worsted wool. Woven in a 14–16 oz weight and constructed using a full 6–8 yards of fabric, they deliver the depth and swing expected from proper Highland dress. Each kilt is pleated to the sett to maintain a continuous tartan flow, while the traditional selvedge edge reflects authentic construction. A full inner lining provides comfort through extended wear, and integrated belt loops allow for easy pairing with kilt belts and accessories. This is the kilt you reach for when the occasion matters—when you want the weight, the movement, and the presence to feel right the moment you put it on.
Common Questions About This Kilt
When is this kilt suitable to wear?
This premium wool kilt is well-suited for weddings, Highland games, cultural gatherings, formal occasions, and everyday traditional wear. The darker, understated palette of Black Isle gives it a refined, modern look that works equally well in daytime and evening settings. It’s a great option for anyone wanting a traditional kilt that leans slightly more contemporary or subtle.
How does the wool fabric feel and how heavy is it?
These premium wool kilts use a medium-heavy woolen wool, typically in the 14–16 oz range depending on the weave. Woolen wool has a slightly rougher texture than worsted wool, but it still provides rich, traditional color along with excellent swing and drape. This fabric is known for being hardy and reliable, making it a great choice for consistent wear, cultural events, and anyone wanting a long-lasting traditional kilt.
Who is this tartan best for?
Black Isle is a universal tartan not tied to any clan. It is primarily black with a very subtle, low-contrast pattern that gives it a clean and understated look. It’s ideal for anyone who wants a darker tartan that doesn’t draw too much attention, pairs easily with any outfit, and works well for both formal events and everyday traditional wear.
Sizing / Measuring
It is extremely important you follow our measuring video and order the size you need based on your measurement, not pants size. All of men's pants are labeled 2-4 inches smaller than what they actually measure. Please see our measuring video below or checkout or measuring page here.
The size that you choose for your order will be the smallest setting on the buckle straps (i.e. a size 36 adjusts from a 36 up to just under a 39.5). Depending on where you want the buckle to end on your waist will determine your size. A good rule of thumb to follow is to go down 1-2 inches from your measured waist size. That will put you in the middle of the buckle straps (i.e. 39 or 40 measured would order a 38).
You MUST measure in order to get the correct size. Please visit our measuring section of the website to determine which size is best for you. DO NOT use your pants or jeans size to determine your kilt size.
