Price Value Quality I purchased the great kilt and it is absolutely amazing. The tartan material is beautiful and flawless. Shipping was so fast, even through a snowstorm. When I had questions, they responded almost immediately with answers. I highly recommend USA Kilts for your next tartan. (Posted on 1/25/2023) - This cloth is awesome! Ian MacGregor

Price Value Quality I ordered four yards of 13 Oz tartan cloth to use as a great kilt. The order arrived in a couple weeks, which surprised me as the MacGregor Red and green ancient had to come from the mill in the UK. This cloth is beautiful and strong.. and doesn't seem to wrinkle as easily as I expected. I am quite happy with it and am now trying to decide which tartan I want next for a great kilt. Thank you. USA Kilts! (Posted on 12/30/2022) - Tradition starts somewhere Jesse

Price Value Quality I am pleased to have finally bought a great kilt, even only having majority Welsh and Irish blood. I got the Phillips tartan and have really enjoyed the history, quality, prices, and feel of wearing the great kilt.
It's quite comfortable and, while initially intimidating, is fairly easy to learn how to use correctly.
I also like the versatility in his to wear it. It truly is very comfortable and I am considering a second for one so I don't have to be quite so cautious.
It gets a lot of positive comments (only a few negative ones, but who cares about those?) And people are really interested. It's not overwhelming so, if you're an introvert, don't worry about being overwhelmed.
I'll get another at some point without question.
Thanks guys. Great videos btw! (Posted on 12/29/2022) - Tradition starts somewhere Jesse

Value Quality Price The material is high quality and folds into a beautiful great kilt. You won't be disappointed.
I was on a tight time budget when ordering this product, but the crew put in the work and stayed late on a Friday to make sure my order went out. I am eternally grateful. (Posted on 10/10/2022) - Good quality great customer service Dave

Quality Price Value I've wanted a great kilt for years, I was a little hesitant because I was told they're a bit of a pain to put on. I knew how but had never done it, and I find it a lot of fun! I'll definitely be getting more great kilts! (Posted on 6/16/2022) - Awesome Whitaker

Price Value Quality The quality of the wool fabric is amazing! I purchased one of the Henderson Tartans and I look forward to wearing this true plaid once my other accessories arrive. My only recommendation for improvement is I wish the manufacturers would leave more of the real lanolin oil in the wool, as it greatly improves waterproofing and durability. I ordered a “British Wool” sweater once, and it arrived with that funky (in a good way) sheep smell that reminds me of the country. The smell took some getting used to, but it made for one heck of an awesome sweater. I wish the kilt fabric could arrive the same way! Great product though and I will try to share some photos once I
wear this awesome highland outfit!!! (Posted on 4/22/2022)

The Great Kilt is a true symbol of the Highlands and of Scotland.
Known in Gaelic as the feileadh mor (Feileadh Mòr), this is the big kilt you see wrapped around Scottish Highlanders of the 16th through the 18th centuries. It has picked up many pop-culture names over the years.
In reality, the Scottish great kilt is just a large piece of tartan cloth (if someone offers you a great kilt for sale and it is pre-pleated, watch out!). The trick to wearing one lies in learning how to pleat it around your torso and fix it in place with a plaid brooch and kilt belt. Our 16 oz. wool great kilt and 13 oz wool great kilt are each sourced from the best tartan mills in Scotland and are available in your choice of tartan sett. If you want something a little lighter weight for summer festivals, check out our 11oz great kilt.
Is this the kilt I see people wearing as a Renn Faire Kilt?
Yes. Though not every renaissance kilt is worn authentically and practice putting it on is crucial. Decide if you want to create a fantasy Celtic warrior look (like for a LARP) or a historically accurate Highlander or Jacobite look. Then practice before you go to faire!
Can I get an Outlander kilt, Braveheart kilt, Rob Roy kilt or Highlander kilt?
Yes because they are all essentially the same garment, just known popularly by the movie or TV series title. Of all of these, we are most pleased with the research that went into the costumes of the Outlander series. Very authentic look!
How do I find my family great kilt?
Just click on the tartan picker link and do a search on your name. We will provide you with a custom great kilt. That means it will be in any tartan you like. Remember that most Clan tartans were not registered until the early 19th century, so don’t worry too much about having an exact tartan for a historical costume or impression. In most of history, you just wore the tartan your wife had woven for you during the winter.
