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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eKilt straps on this kilt are set with an allowance of 0.5\" tighter and 1.5\" looser. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHistorically, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOur 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe kilt is stitched from 5 yards of worsted wool, available in our full range of tartans from a selection of mills\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring Advice:\u003cbr\u003eWaist: measure firmly around waist at navel height.\u003cbr\u003eSeat: measure around the largest part of the seat area.\u003cbr\u003eKilt 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.\u003cbr\u003eHeight: provide this in feet and inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"australianpipe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48836307484864,"sku":"T-KCMT05","price":990.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6615\/8784\/files\/blue_kilt_4-800x800.jpg?v=1787047092"},{"product_id":"full-8-yard-kilt","title":"Full 8 Yard Kilt","description":"\u003cdiv data-content-type=\"html\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-element=\"main\"\u003eWhat sets us apart from the otheer retailers in Australia, is that our kilts are made on site\r\n\r\nThe kilt is fully hand made and finished from 8 yards of 13 or 16oz. worsted wool, available in our full range of tartans from Lochcarron of Scotland, Strathmore Woollen Mills, House of Edgar and Marton Mills. Our managing director has over 45 years of kilt making experience and she prepares, presses and finishes every kilt we make here in Ipswich QLD\r\n\r\nMeasuring advice:\r\n\r\nWaist: measure firmly around waist at navel height.\r\nSeat: measure firmly around the largest part of the seat area.\r\nKilt Length: measure from navel height to the top of the knee.\r\nHeight: provide this in feet and inches.\r\nOn average kilts take 10 weeks to make up, however, we can improve on this if required, so if you need your kilt in a hurry please e-mail us and we will do all we can to accommodate you. There may be a delay due to the availability of the tartan with the mill and we will advise this when the order has been placed. You may wish to get in touch prior to placing the order to check the tartan availability. \r\n\r\nPleating at the back can either be 'to the sett' meaning it continues the pattern of the tartan, while 'to the strip' means each pleat carries a uniform stripe from the tartan (see picture comparison above). You have the option to choose which colour stripe you'd like carried over in this option (input which colour from your chosen tartan you'd like in the text box).\r\n\r\nIf you have any queries regarding the measurement process, the pleating options, or would like some additional information before placing your order please e-mail us.\r\n\r\nPipe Band discounts are available for larger orders, please contact usfor more information.\r\n\r\nTartan Finder Disclaimer:\r\n\r\nAs each of the mills has supplied their own images, or they have been taken from fabric samples, please note that the setts are not to scale when comparing tartans of different mills. Also, as screen resolutions vary, colours may differ slightly from those seen here.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"australianpipe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48836307583168,"sku":"T-KCMT08M","price":1210.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/6615\/8784\/files\/t-k08-8-yard-tartan-kilt-front-apron-800x800.jpg?v=1787047096"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.australianpipebandsupplies.com.au\/collections\/kilts.oembed","provider":"Australian Pipe Band Suppliers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
