“My husband wore a skilt for our wedding. Fantastic quality and the fabric couldn’t have been a better match for the waistcoat fabric. He found it very comfortable to wear. Many thanks!” – Katrina
“I received my Union Jack kilt on Thursday, and I love, love, love it!!! And it arrived much soon than I expected. ” Dave
“I received and tried on the kilt, it’s absolutely amazing. I love it, such a great work, perfect. Thank your team much. This is a dream came true. ” Francesco
Frustrated with your current clothing options?
Trouser tubes are uninspiring and restrictive – especially when you stuff the pockets with your everyday carry.
Traditional kilts look great but they are heavy and formal. Tartans can prompt awkward conversations about what clan you come from.
Sporrans look nice but aren’t very big and aren’t ideally placed for vigorous exercise.
“Let me help you find a modern kilt that you will love to wear.”

Meet your guide
Hi, my name is Richard. I’ve been making kilts since 2007. I am the designer, pattern maker, materials sourcer, strap cutter, webmaster, and sales assistant here at Skilt.
I’m passionate about helping men find their style and express their confidence and I pride myself on giving the highest level of customer service. It would be a pleasure to walk you through all the stages of finding a kilt that you will love.
“As a keen crossfitter I always had trouble finding trousers to fit my thighs. I used to worry about standing out from the crowd but I love wearing my Skilt. It’s really comfortable and gets all the right attention.”
– Mat, Skilt fan
FAQs
Is it possible to visit you in person and try some kilts on?
Yes it is. It’s great to meet Skilt fans in the flesh. We don’t have a shop but you are welcome to make an appointment and come and visit Skilt’s global headquarters in London’s glamorous Bethnal Green where there is a wardrobe full of Skilts for you to browse through and try on.
Drop me a line on WhatsApp or at richard (at) skilt.co.uk to arrange a time to visit.
I’m not Scottish, can I wear a Skilt?
Absolutely you can! “Non-bifurcated” garments are worn around the world by many different cultures. You can choose almost any fabric you like. How about getting a kilt in your sport team or regimental colours? Or your county’s flag? The important thing is to wear it with confidence and pride.
If you do happen to be Scottish why not have us make up a modern style kilt in your family tartan?
Do you make wedding kilts?
Yes we do! Why hire a kilt for your wedding when you could have a bespoke modern style wedding kilt you can wear for years to come? Our detachable pocket design means that you can wear it with a sporran on the day if you’d like a more traditional look. And why stop at the groom(s)? The more kilts you order, the cheaper we can make them for.
Can you add custom embroidery and other embellishments?
For bold designs our workshop is a dab hand at applique – that is sewing fabric pieces onto other fabric. For more detailed designs we have sourced embroidered patches, flags, and directly applied designs with fabric paints.
We don’t have the facilities to add custom embroidery in house but we do know a guy who can. The setup is, however, very expensive to do for a single garment so we only really recommend this if you are making multiple pieces.
Do you care about ethical manufacturing?
Of course we do! All our kilts are all made here in London and we pay our manufacturing partners a fair price and on time. Many of our fabrics are locally sourced “roll ends” that would otherwise go to waste. Most fetching and carrying is done by Richard on his bicycle.
How much do you charge for shipping?
Shipping is calculated on a fixed rate basis. If you order more than one kilt at once then we pay for the extra shipping in order to give you a “thank you” discount.
All kilts are sent out in a branded garment carrier and the packages are tracked and insured. Our rates are:
- UK – £14
- Europe – £18
- Rest of the world – £34.15 (based on USA shipping cost)
We don’t aim to make money off shipping. It often costs a little bit more than we charge.
If you are buying from outside of the UK your country may make additional charges for import duty and other taxes. Sorry about that. Blame the politicians for not making free trade agreements.
If you are only ordering a small item (e.g. a pair of socks) please drop us a line and we’ll create a special invoice for you so you don’t pay the full postage rate. special invoice for you so you don’t pay the full postage rate.
Do you offer discounts?
If you order multiple garments off the website we will ship for the same price as a single garment. If you are ordering more than one garment using our made to order service then our prices reduce significantly.
What if I don’t love my Skilt?
We have a no-quibble returns policy. If for some reason you don’t love your Skilt when you receive it you can return it to us in the condition you received it to get a full refund (less postage). In the unlikely event that there is a problem with the craftsmanship of your Skilt then will will work with you to either get it fixed locally to you, arrange for a replacement or full refund (including postage).
Do you do kilt hire?
Nope. Why hire a kilt that you have to give back when you could put that money towards a modern kilt that you can continue to wear after your event?
Do you lend kilts for fashion shoots?
We are usually happy to lend kilts to reputable stylists working on commercial projects.
