USA Kilts “Semi Traditional” kilts are the kilts that will wear well at weddings, highland games, concerts, dinners, events, or anytime that you feel the need to dress a bit more authentically... or you can wear them with a T Shirt!
Our Semi Traditional kilts are ALL custom made to your measurements. This model generally has 18-35 pleats (.75 to 1 inch wide) and a triple buckle closure system. Each one comes with tapered hips and is made to your measurements to ensure a proper fit. They come with 2 belt loops (4 inches tall) on the back of the kilt to accommodate a traditional kilt belt and have a tapered and fringed front apron. The Semi Traditional kilts are all hand pleated with an exacting standard to either the Sett or the Stripe.
Like the Casual, our Semi Traditional kilts are made from Poly Viscose, which is an 11 oz machine washable fabric. The PV material we buy is coated with Teflon, so you don’t have to worry about spilling things on it. These tartans are all registered with the Scottish Tartan Authority.
Please note: While there are no real rules about what tartans people are or are not “entitled” to wear, if you are more comfortable with a “Universal Tartan” (one that was designed for everyone to wear), we have marked their names with a ** in our Tartan Gallery.
