Off-the-peg kilts

When buying your first kilt or you just want a kilt to use in situations where an expensive wool kilt would be overkill, an off-the-peg kilt might be a good choice. They typically are 5 or 8 yard kilts, made of PV or an acryllic fabric and 24" long.
These kilts are under £100. Kilts in the £25-35 range might give you less value for money than kilts selling at about £50.

But also wool kilts are available off-the-peg,
but at a considerably higher price.

Hector Russell Kiltmaker
Hector Russell Kiltmakers – a proud name within highland wear - are now selling only one kilt from their website. It is their “James Pringle Weavers Gent’s Weekend Kilt”. You have four colours or tartans to choose.

Kilts made to measure

Wanting a kilt in wool, which really fits you when it comes to waist and length and where you'll have a lot of tartans to choose from, go for a kilt made to measure. It doesn't have to be that expensive.
Only kiltmakers giving you the option to order your kilt online, according to your measures, are listed below.

I have bought several of their 5 yard James Morrison kilts and been most satisfied, these kilts giving really value for money.
However, in 2017 the basic price on 5 yard made-to-measure kilts has gone up by over 30% compared to the no longer existing James Morrison brand. But worse; it seems impossible to find a kilt actually selling at the new basic price. Even on popular tartans, earlier to get "free", you now have to pay around £40 and often more on top.
Even if on this site I have for years given Heritage of Scotland my firm recommendation a pricing policy where a basic price seems to be pure theory means for me thumbs down.



Highland House of Fraser
A company with traditions (once Hector Russell Inverness) and a webpage looking rather old fashioned. Five ranges of kilts, among those “The Hillwalker”, probably the one once made by Hector Russell, and being “a hand tailored kilt made for the great outdoors. Supplied with leather trimmed side pockets, leather patch pocket and 2 antique style buckles and straps.”

Kilt Society
Kilt Society is rather new enterprise on the market, owned by a younger couple, obvious having a clear vision of making the kilt everyday attire for men wherever they live; an attitude which to my opinion should be highly appreciated.
You might just read what they say on their blog on casual kilt wearing.

Also, Kilt Society might have one of the best designed web pages, making it incredibly easy to order a kilt to measure or other items.
Have a look at their "Kilt Society Custom Made Kilts" in 5 and 8 yard.

For smart casual wear I recommend the 5 yard kilt. You have several hundred tartans to choose from. On most tartans you’ll have to pay an additional fee, but actually it is not difficult to find tartans which shall not cost you extra. It should be a natural thing, but unfortunately, on the kilt market basic prices are sometimes pure theory.
Therefore thumbs up for Kilt Society.

MacGregor & MacDuff
MacGregor and MacDuff have in their range a 5 yard “Starter kilt”. Depending on the tartan, of which you have 100 to choose, it is made from either 13 oz. or 16 oz. pure new wool, and the price is the same regardless the tartan. The pictures of the tartans could have been better.

Scotweb
Scotweb – a major Scottish kilt vendor – is offering a 5 yard "Essential Scotweb Casual Kilt. It is not a woolen kilt, but being custom made from UK-made, machine washable poly viscose in no less than 120 different tartans and costing no more than £135 it seems to give high value for money. Even if it is a “from” price all tartans seem to sell at this price. Positive.

Scotweb also sells a five yard made-to-measure casual kilt, designed to sit low, i.e. like jeans, but unless you can use one of the very few kilts in stock be prepared to pay considerably more than their "from price" indicate. Thumbs down.

Syriels Kiltworld
Syriel, a German kiltmaker, knows how a fine kilt should be made. Until some years ago she would sew kilts made to measure but now she is concentrating her business on imported ready made kilts in a quality she can answer for. The range also comprises tartans not seen with other vendors and prices look competitive. At a modest price she will shorten your kilt from standard 24" to your preferred length. Unfortunately you cannot pay with your credit card yet. Hopefully Syriel is going to change that soon.


In Germany there are a few places where you can buy a kilt off-the-peg or have it made to your measures:

Sport Kilt
Being really light weight the Sport Kilt is just perfect in a hot climate. In the standard version It comes in six different waist sizes and the length is 22.5" - 1.5" less than the normal standard. And the pleats aren't sewn down. But that you can have for $12 (highly recommended).
Want buckle closure (as standard it is closed by means of Velcro like the USA Kils Casual mentioned below), belt loops, fringes, two hidden side pockets, and another length? Everything is possible, but shall cost you.
For informal occasions where you might otherwise feel comfortable in shorts, it is great – provided you don’t expect it to be a traditional kilt. I don’t. And it is not. It’s an unpretentious kilted garment of its own and for the mentioned purposes I can highly recommend it.

USA Kilts
USA Kilts.com makes a very nice 4 yard kilt according to your measures, called USA Kilts Casual. You can have it in over 90 different tartans and the fabric is a fine 12 oz. washable PV quality from a mill in UK. It is closed by means of Velcro which has some advantages over straps and buckles. It is more flexible regarding waist size, and when a kilt is worn together with a wide belt no one can see that the buckles and straps are missing. The lack of metal parts also means that it shall set no alarms at airports. As something special the pleats are “top-stitched”, meaning stitched all way down. You hardly see it but it makes the pleats of the kilt much easier to maintain.

The basic price for the USA Kilt Casual is $100 – in theory. In practice, unless you are a boy, you’ll have to pay (at least) $20 on top for your hip size.

This kilt has one major drawback, however; if you are living in Europe (EU) you must on top of the price for kilt and freight pay VAT (the standard rate of your country) and an obligatory handling fee, around 20 EUR. The total price at your door step might therefore exceed £155. At that price the five yard Scotweb “Essential” PV kilt mentioned above might be a better choice for Europeans.
But still I can highly recommend the USA Kilts Casual. I really like this kilt and wear it a lot. It is extremely durable.

21stCentury Kilts
Expensive top quality kilts where innovation is based upon tradition.   

According to Howie R. Nicholsby, founder and owner of 21st Century Kilts, the kilt should be an alternative to trousers and for every man to use, casual or formal:

“My aim is to give men throughout the world a realistic alternative to trousers. Pioneering the next step of its evolution, 21st Century Kilts is true to the original kilt which was everyday clothing. Casual or formal a kilt should be an option for any man from anywhere who can realize they are part of the history of an international garment."

Utilikilts
Today the UItilikilt has gained almost iconic status. It was the first 'modern' kilt, launched in 2000 by an American, Steve Villegas. However, or because of that, prices have gone up. The cheapest Utilikilt today is the Mocker, selling at $200 and if you are living in an EU-country you must not only add freight, but also 12% import tax, VAT plus an import fee and you may be well over 300 Euro before you are able to put it on.
