Traditional Handsewn Kilts

and Accessories

Pipers' Accessories/Mìreannan nan Pìobaire

PhotobucketIPERS REQUIRE FAR MORE ACCESSORIES THAN THE average gent bedecked in Highland wear. Below you will find a wide assortment of items to meet your piping needs. There is generally considered to be two modes of uniform dress: No. 1 and No. 2.

No. 1 Dress is the most formal and consists of a Kinfe-Pleated Deluxe kilt, a tunic or doublet, a horsehair sporran, spats with diced hose, a feather bonnet, a sgian dubh, a kilt pin, a belt with a cross-belt, and a full piper's plaid fastened with a brooch.

No. 2 Dress is more casual and consists of a Knife-Pleated Deluxe kilt, an Argyll jacket, shirt and tie, glengarry hat, 'popcorn' top hose, ghillie brogues, a sgian dubh, a kilt pin, and some type of sporran.

The Horsehair Sporran

Horsehair sporrans are generally thought of as only piper's wear, but one need not feel restricted by this. Until fairly recently, many civilians wore them as well. These sporrans are made from the finest horsehair and pig-grained leather. Most are available with a optional pouch. To view other types of sporrans click here.

Piper's Hose

PhotobucketThese hose are made from 70% wool and 30% stretch nylon. The turn-over section is referred to as a "bobble" or "popcorn" top. It is integrated as an extended turn-over which can be adjusted to meet individual length requirements. The cross-stitch section expands almost 12 inches (depending on size), which allows the wearer to turn over three times to produce a roll at the top of the sock of 4 inches bulked out, or to turn over only twice to give a longer look with less bulk. Sizes Small (UK 4-7), Medium (UK 8-10), and Large (UK 11-13). Available in: Black, Navy, Arran (Off-White), Lovat Blue, Lovat Green, Bottle Green, and Charcoal.
