How to measure for a special order traditional kilt
For Men's or Women's Kilts
Do not use previous kilt sizing or pant sizing to order. Whether it is your first time or 10th time ordering a kilt, you want to measure as if it was the 1st.
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).
Length Measurement:
This really is personal preference. While some say that a kilt, traditionally speaking, should come to high knee, we firmly believe that you should order what is comfortable. A good rule we recommend following if you are new to kilts is going with what your current pair of shorts are. If they are high, mid, or low knee, use them to figure out how long you want it and measure to that point.
Returns
If you follow our measuring video in the videos section below, you will get a kilt that fits. Because this is a custom order item it is not eligible for returns or exchanges due to mis-measuring.

Step into tradition with a standard wool kilt that delivers authenticity, durability, and affordability. Made from 4–5 yards of 14–16 oz woolen wool, it features a selvedge edge, double-fringed apron, and full lining for lasting comfort. Two sturdy leather straps with adjustable buckles provide a secure fit, while belt loops allow you to add a traditional kilt belt.

Whether worn for formal occasions, Highland gatherings, or everyday use, this kilt offers traditional wool construction at an excellent value.
For help choosing the right fit, please review the Sizing tab below, which covers proper measuring and size selection. Since the size ordered reflects the smallest waist setting, ordering 1–2 inches below your measured size typically places you near the middle of the straps, allowing for greater adjustment.
Common Questions About This Kilt
What makes the Standard Wool Kilt different from the Premium Wool Kilt?
The Standard Wool Kilt uses 4–5 yards of wool, while the Premium version uses 6–8 yards. This gives the Standard kilt fewer and shallower pleats, making it lighter and more affordable while still providing an authentic wool kilt with traditional construction.
How does the wool fabric feel and how heavy is it?
These special-order kilts use 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 while still providing rich color, comfortable movement, and the durability needed for regular wear.
How do I choose the right tartan and size?
Choose from any tartan shown in the available options, including clan, district, national, universal, and specialty tartans. For sizing, measure your waist at the navel and follow the sizing guide carefully. Since the kilt is made specifically for you, accurate measurements are essential. Production typically takes 5–7 weeks, depending on the mill’s schedule.
Sizing & Measuring
For the best fit, follow our sizing chart carefully—do not guess or base your size on other kilts. These kilts are sized by the smallest measurement in their range. For example, a size 36 will adjust from 36 to 39.5 inches. We recommend ordering 1-2 inches smaller than your actual measurement to keep the fit closer to the middle of the strap range, allowing for easy adjustments.
