Lord Morgan's Scottish Highlander Great Kilt
Highlanders have been wearing the "Great Kilt" and its early variations for centuries. The great kilt or feileadh mór (big wrap) offered the Scotsman versatility by being a garment, sleeping bag and a protection against inclement weather. By tucking and folding the excess material around the waist and pinning at the chest, pockets were created to hold personal items that probably included anything from bread and cheese to game from a hunt. How the kilt was worn, was to a certain degree, a personal choice and matter of comfort and practicality. The ancient Great Kilt was made on a 30" wide loom from as much as 8 yards or more of tartan. At 60" wide, our standard great kilt is constructed of a more manageable 4 yard length with beautiful fringes on either end of the fabric. Our model is 6’2” and has plenty of tartan to work with (extra yardage is available below). Complete folding and care instructions are included complimentary with every kilt purchase! To complete your ensemble, we offer matching linen tams and tunics (shirts) to complete your Highlander outfit. Wool tartans are not easy to come by and are certainly not as affordable as we are able to offer you at this time, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by for such a distinctive and handsome Scottish Kilt. Our tartans are made from 100% of the highest quality Australian worsted wool woven and dyed in Scotland. If the wool tartans exceed your budget, we also offer a limited selection of kilts in 100% cotton by request. More yardage on your kilt may be obtained by selecting additional yardage below.
