Top-Stitch 5 yard Kilt - Polyviscose

A top-stitched 5-yard casual tartan kilt, made in polyviscose cloth, which is hypoallergenic and very cost effective if you need a good starter kilt, while still being tailored to fit you perfectly. Off-the-shelf value kilts just won't fit you the same way. 

A top-stich kilt means the top of the pleats are sewn on the outside of the kilt, rather than hidden away on the inside. It takes less time to make a kilt this way, hence we're able to offer a better price. 

Kilt straps on this kilt are set with an allowance of 0.5" tighter and 1.5" looser. Polyviscose does not tend to have a kilting selvedge, so each kilt will be hemmed at the bottom, although we will make this as discreet as possible. 

These kilts are the perfect casual kilt, for when you're off to the game, the pub or just out for the day. 

As with all our kilts, this garment is Made in Scotland by our own trained kilt makers. Kilt pin and sporran may be purchased separately. 

The kilt is stitched from 5 yards of polyviscose, available in the Marton Mills 'Balmoral' range of cloth. 

Tartan Finder Disclaimer:

As 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. If unsure, we’d encourage you to purchase a swatch of the fabric before buying. 

Please note that the polyviscose tartans can sometimes have a smaller set size than their wool counterparts, so it is worth purchasing a swatch before purchase. 

Measuring advice:

• Waist: measure firmly around waist at navel height.
• Seat: measure around the largest part of the seat area.
• Kilt Length: measure from the top of the hip at navel height (so the measure curves over the top of the hip bone) 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.
