Traditional Kilt – Premium 6–8 Yard Wool, Heritage of Liberty
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.

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 ordered is the smallest setting and adjusts up 3+ inches. Measuring helps ensure proper fit and avoids returns.

Measure where you plan to wear the kilt using a tape measure, and order based on that measurement — not your pants size. Men’s pants are typically labeled 2–4 inches smaller than actual body measurements.
The size you order corresponds to the smallest setting on the buckle straps. For example, a size 36 adjusts from 36 inches up to just under 39.5 inches.
For the best fit and proper hang, we recommend ordering 1–2 inches smaller than your measured waist. If you measure 39–40 inches, ordering a 38 will provide the most balanced fit.
Be sure to measure before ordering. Detailed instructions are available through the “Learn how to find your size” link at the top of the page.

Built on Tradition. Woven for Liberty.
The Heritage of Liberty tartan was designed to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, honoring the enduring ties between Scotland and America. Officially registered and exclusive to UTKilts, this design reflects shared history, resilience, and the influence of Scottish heritage on early American life. Deep blue represents endurance and unity; buff recalls the land and early American military dress; red stands for courage and sacrifice; white symbolizes clarity and balance; and gold represents prosperity and the future. More than a pattern, Heritage of Liberty is a woven tribute to legacy, self-governance, and tradition carried forward.
Each Heritage of Liberty kilt is crafted from traditional wool fabric and constructed using approximately 6–8 yards, creating a fuller kilt with increased pleating and a more substantial feel. Finished with three adjustable leather straps and durable buckles, it is designed for formal events, commemorative gatherings, and occasions where a more traditional, fuller kilt is preferred.
Common Questions About This Kilt
What makes the Heritage of Liberty kilt different?
Heritage of Liberty is a registered commemorative tartan created to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States and is exclusive to UTKilts. Unlike general catalog tartans, this design was produced in dedicated weaving runs specifically for this pattern, making it a defined and historically symbolic release.
What construction does this kilt use?
This listing features our Premium traditional build using approximately 6–8 yards of durable wool fabric. The increased yardage allows for more pleating and a fuller kilt compared to lower yardage options. It includes three adjustable leather straps with durable buckles for a secure, tailored fit.
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure your waist at the navel using a flexible measuring tape and follow the sizing guidance. Because the size ordered reflects the smallest strap setting, selecting 1–2 inches below your measured waist typically places you near the center of the adjustment range.
