This amazing wool kilt is the perfect answer to those wanting a traditional, lighter weight kilt that can be for both formal and informal occasions. The kilt is made from up to 5 yards of worsted wool tartan fabric woven in Scotland. This makes for a lighter weight kilt while still trying to keep as much "swing" in the pleats as possible and keeping the price down. Whether you need something lighter for a highlander games or just something more budget friendly, the UTKilts 5 yard traditional kilt is perfect. Your purchase includes matching flashes.
The Black Shadow has the tartan woven into the fabric in a such a way that it shows more or less of the tartan depending on the light it is in. It is an absolutely stunning tartan made from 100% wool woven in Scotland.

Measuring
The size that you choose for your order will be the smallest setting on the buckle straps (i.e. a size 36 adjusts from a 36 up to just under a 39.5). Depending on where you want the buckle to end on your waist will determine your size. A good rule of thumb to follow is to go down 2 inches from your measured waist size. That will put you in the middle of the buckle straps (i.e. 40 measured would order a 38).
You MUST measure in order to get the correct size. Please visit our measuring section of the website to determine which size is best for you. DO NOT use your pants or jeans size to determine your kilt size.
