How to Measure for a Kilt
Our Alternate Pleated Kilts are based on Historical Kilts
The Traditional Knife Pleat which we see in most kilts dates back to 1853 with the Gordon Highlanders.
The Tailored Kilt came after the 1790s. The first of these was the Box Pleated Kilt worn by the the military in the 1790s. These were pleated to stripe. Pleated to sett came later which led to the need to use more tartan.
The origins of the Kinguissie Pleat and such like are a mystery.
Historical Pleating
Here we have a selection of pleating styles we are able to make. These are all hand sewn kilts made by one Kilt Maker.
As with our knife pleated kilts the shaping is in the back so it curves into your body giving the kilt the great fit and swing we are known for
