Traditional Handsewn Kilts
and Accessories
Box-Pleated Kilt (13 oz. Bute and Mean)
UTE AND MEAN ARE THE 13 oz. (MEDIUM WEIGHT) range of tartans offered by Marton Mills of Yorkshire, England. While most of the Bute tartans are also available in the heavier weight Jura range (for the same price), one may desire the lighter weight for comfort reasons. View the tartans below to make your selection.Ordering a kilt is a special thing and this process is meant to streamline things as much as possible, not to dehumanize the experience. If you have any questions before or after you make an order, please feel free to contact me.
Measuring
IMPORTANT: It is preferrable to have someone else take these measurements rather than yourself.
1. Natural waist. This is NOT your trouser size! For most people, this is the indent at your side just above the navel. This measurement should be fairly snug.
2. Hips. Measure the widest part of your hips. This can be loosely done over clothing.
3. Length of the kilt. Measure from your natural waist to the top of your knee-cap. Keep your back straight and don't look down. Add 5 cm (2") to this result, or 10 cm (4") if you desire a military rise. For most people this is uncomfortably high on the ribs, so unless your are looking for a military-styled kilt, I suggest a rise of no more than 5 cm (2").
Additional Measurements: Height and Weight. This is needed to double check other measurements, in case you deviate far from the average.
Note: Measurements 124.5 cm (49") and over will incur a surcharge. Please contact me (john@gaelicclothing.com) for exact pricing.
