Great Kilt 11 oz. Wool

I took this Great Kilt to the Pike National forest in Colorado and did a lot of hiking in it. Unfortunately my Bog shoes are not ideal in the steep mountain ranges of the Continental Divide!! Not recommended!
Nevertheless I took naps in soft green moss and covered my head so the insects could only get at my legs. I spent a great deal of time picking pine needles out of it later but there was zero damage to the weave, only a few spot of what I think is pine tar, which smells good and gives it some character! I accidentally got it wet with iron rich snow runoff and it didn’t stain or discolor it.
After all I put it through it still looks perfect!
The TSA screeners at Denver Airport didn’t quite know what to do with me but they let me through without removing it. It was tied up around my waist with a knit sash instead of a kilt belt so it was without any metal.
I always have a great time fraying the ends of the wool and repurposing the threads for hand sewing ribbon ties to the kilt. That way it can be secured in many different configurations without a cloak pin. Hemming the ends wasn’t traditionally done and once it’s frayed well the remaining threads seem to stay put.
This kilt was a special order so it did take longer to receive than if had already been in stock here in the USA.
I actually ordered an “in stock” PV great kilt shortly after I ordered this one and I received the PV kilt first. So be aware that the logistics can make some items take longer than others.
My next kilt is going to be a five yard premium!

Firstly, I Absolutely love my kilt. Secondly, every interaction I had with the company was great and helpful. My initial choice for tartan was not going to be available till December, so they called me and helped me pick out a new tartan, then kept me appraised of each step in the process to get it to me. I will definitely purchase from this company again. (Posted on 8/1/2023)

I just got my first great kilt in the MacFarlane tartan. I ordered the 11 oz in 5 yards to see how I liked it. USA kilts called me personally a day later to let me know the mill was out of stock of the 11 oz but they had the 13 in stock. They upgraded my order free of charge so that I didn't have to wait for months waiting for the mill to restock. I received my order within 2 weeks, which was much faster than I expected. The kilt is gorgeous and the 13 oz ended up being exactly what I wanted. I really appreciated the service and the quality of their product. I will definitely buy another kilt from these guys in the future. Great job guys! (Posted on 3/31/2023)

Definitely worth the buy, even if the manufacture was marked up a bit. Good quality materials used, I can tell there was care put into this product.
Thank you! (Posted on 1/26/2023)

So, I decided to breakdown and buy a Great Kilt or in common tongue a Faileadh Mor. On my journey I had a lot of questions regarding width, color variations and Ian, who I talked to over the phone and email, was outstanding and very, very helpful in finding my way through. The Great Kilt -Tarta came from the Strathmore mill and was exactly what I thought.. Excellent quality and the weight of it was fantastic. I also ordered a pair of matching Flashes to go along with it which, Ian helped me navigate while ordering those since they were custom. Seriously, just an outstanding experience overall and I would highly recommend going through USA Kilts for all you Celtic needs. Fantastic! 10 out of 10!!

Thanks Ian for such a wonderful experience!

This is the second kilt I've ever owned, first Great kilt and first time ordering from USA kilts. I ordered a 6 meter Anderson Tartan, and it's great! It came a lot quicker than I anticipated, and it's of amazing quality. If there is anything I would do differently, it would be getting the edges sewn. I opted to leave them Cut, and it gets stray strings quickly. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get a Great Kilt! (Posted on 7/28/2022)

Love the Weathered Gunn great kilt. Excellent value, authentic tartan, reasonable price and shipping time. Helpful advice on the phone when I called. Love that I could talk to a live person without a hassle. (Posted on 6/18/2022)

I love my Brown Watch (Mill: Str) kilt as well as the Ramsay Blue Modern (same mill) I got a year or 2 ago from USA Kilts. The fabric of both is soft yet durable. I use them a lot outside while cutting and dragging brush, so I need them to hold up. The colors of the Brown Watch are great for blending into the woods and both are wide enough to easily pull over the shoulders when there's a chill or bring up over the head when it starts to rain. Disappointedly, I can't say the same for the 16oz, Scotland Forever Modern, Mill: LOCH I got a year ago which isn't as wide. I'm very happy with the Brown Watch and Ramsay kilts I have and would highly recommend either! So fun and versatile! (Posted on 5/26/2022)

These guys do it right. When it comes to great kilts you really can’t F it up. It’s simple and straight forward. The quality is spot on. The price is competitive. The biggest value you get with USA Kilts is their selection. Find me another business that sources from english and Scottish mills with such a variety of product - not guna happen. Love their YouTube channel too, great content recently, especially the spinoff content of history and stories. (Posted on 3/17/2022)
