The humble kilt has a long-standing history, as colorful and as sturdy as its Scottish roots. Fast forward to the 21stcentury, however, and it’s now evolved into something that’s not only practical and utilitarian but also fashionable.
What is a Kilt?
Kilts are designed with vertical pleated tartan cloth. Originally a traditional dress for Scottish men and women, it covers all the way to the knee. It is worn as a wrap-around, secured by straps and buckles on both ends. Traditional, typical kilts are commonly made of twill woven worsted wool. It can use up as much as 6 to 8 yards of single-width cloth, while a double-width tartan fabric can get about 3 to 4 yards.
