Elliott tartan

The tartan

Elliott is a clan tartan, Elliott being a Scottish border clan.

The kilt or skirt

Basically a 4-yard kilt. However, instead of pleats at the back, it has several, very deep pleats at the sides. This means that it, according to definitions, is not a traditional kilt, but a tartan wrap skirt or a kilt variant. The reason for designing it this way, took a starting point in the way, men live today. Moving the pleats from the back to the sides makes the kilt much more comfortable when sitting in front of a computer, when stepping in and out of cars or when seated for a long time on board an airplane.
Due to the yardage the special "feel" of kilt is maintained.

Most people, at least outside of a Scottish context, shall probably consider it a kilt. And if not, then just kind of skirt which any man can wear.
It has been tailored by a talented, now retired, German kiltmaker, Syriel.
