Traditional Kilt - Lochmore, Black Watch Acrylic
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.
The size chosen is the smallest size (adjusts up 3+ inches). Most returns come from guessing, using pant size, or ordering other kilt sizes—measure to be sure!

Heritage Made Accessible With Lochmore
The Lochmore Traditional Kilt takes its inspiration from Scotland’s lochs, places of depth, strength, and beauty that have always been open to all. Just like those waters, the Lochmore line is meant to be welcoming — giving anyone the chance to experience the pride and tradition of Highland dress. Made from durable acrylic fabric, it is easier to care for than wool and well-suited for festivals, gatherings, or simply trying a kilt for the first time. By carrying the heritage of a true Scottish kilt at a fraction of the cost, the Lochmore makes stepping into Highland tradition more accessible than ever.
Sizing & Measuring
To get the right fit, follow our measuring video and order based on your actual waist measurement—not your pants size. Most men's pants sizes are 2-4 inches smaller than the true waist measurement.
- The size you order is the smallest setting on the buckle straps. (e.g., a size 36 adjusts from 36 to just under 39.5).
- For the best fit, order 1-2 inches smaller than your measured waist. (e.g., if you measure 39-40 inches, order a 38).
- You MUST measure—do not use your pants size.
