Casual 5 yard Kilt

The 5 yard kilt is a lightweight and versatile alternative to the traditional 8 yard kilt. Less fabric is used in the pleats at the back, meaning you get a full kilt for a much cheaper price. Otherwise the construction is exactly the same, so you can be sure of a quality garment. There being less material means these kilts are especially well-suited for warmer climates. A 5-yard kilt also makes a fantastic starter kilt, either if you've never tried one before, or for young adults with a bit of growth left in them. Available in all the tartans available for the 8-yard kilt.

Kilt straps on this kilt are set with an allowance of 0.5" tighter and 1.5" looser. 

Historically, all kilts were once 5-yards, first box-pleated before the knife pleating (used here) became fashionable. It was only at the end of the nineteenth century that heavier 8-yard kilts became the standard. 

Our machine sewn kilts are generally made in Scotland by our head office trained kilt makers. They are fully canvas lined with 3 buckles to ensure an excellent fit. Kilt pin and sporran may be purchased separately. 

The kilt is stitched from 5 yards of worsted wool, available in our full range of tartans from a selection of mills

Measuring Advice:
Waist: measure firmly around waist at navel height.
Seat: measure around the largest part of the seat area.
Kilt Length: measure from over the top of the hip at navel height to the top or middle of the knee. As a rule of thumb, your kilt length should be no shorter than a third of your height. It's always best to get someone to help with this measurement, as you'll lean forward and shorten the length when doing it yourself.
Height: provide this in feet and inches.
