The Royal Fusiliers were originally formed from two companies of the Tower of London guard, and called the Ordnance Regiment. Most regiments were equipped with matchlock muskets at the time, but the Ordnance Regiment were armed with flintlock fusils. This was because their task was to be an escort for the artillery, for which matchlocks would have carried the risk of igniting the open-topped barrels of gunpowder.
Drop us a line if you would like us to make a Skilt in your regiment’s colours.
Remember ’80s pop star Marilyn? You know, Boy George’s mate? Well, he’s on the way back and this time he’s wearing a Skilt!
Look what I found! I think I was going to keep this one for myself … I still might. Buy it quick before I change my mind.
Only one of these left – in M/L.
How many hides do you reckon it takes to make one of these leather Skilts? Six? Seven? Nope, about twelve! Twelve of the highest quality super soft nappa leather hides that money can buy. That’s why it’s not cheep. And that’s why it looks and feels so good.

This has the look and feel of a rubber kilt but in a much thicker and more durable form. This fabric was originally used by Belstaff and I managed to buy enough for just a few Skilts. It has a rubber layer applied to a fabric base and in real life the colour is a vibrant electric blue that addled my main camera – it is closest in colour to the lighter blue fabric pic.
Don’t dry clean it! Hand wash in warm water.

This silver Skilt weighs in at just 500g and yet it is still robust enough for everyday wear. What kind of mythical material is it made of? We don’t really know. What we do know is that we could only find one roll of the stuff so, as ever, once these are gone, they are gone. Take it backpacking or dress it up with a dinner jacket. Just be careful in the wind and don’t expect it to keep you warm!

This Skilt is made of black cotton drill with satin side pleats. It comes complete with two removable pockets: wear them at the sides to maximise the amount you can carry, or use a single pocket at the front to really show off the rainbow.
The S/M size uses lightweight satiin that really catches the breeze. The M/L size uses a heavier weight duchess satin.

Our Skilts are made in London, England but we know that they are also popular on the other side of the pond. This one is for our patriotic American cousins: a stars and strips Skilt.
The main fabric in this Skilt is hard wearing cotton drill. It features a blue front apron with white leather appliqué stars and alternating red and white pleats. It comes complete with two big, detachable blue pockets. Perfect for sporting events, concerts, and just about anywhere you want to show your true colours.

A few days ago a chap called Christopher enquired about the possibility of making a pink Skilt for his holiday in Gran Canaria. Absolutely we can.
Christopher, if you are reading this now my emails are being returned from the address you provided. Can you please get back in touch with me: richard@skilt.co.uk?
Hi Richard.
I just thought you might like to see the effect of ‘those edges’ in a nightclub setting!!
Like something JPG could have designed for Fifth Element!!
Best wishes from Sitges.
Jonathan.
Grrrr! For years now I’ve been searching for fabric to make more black on black animal print Skilts. Well…
Lightweight and soft with a velvety feel I predict these will sell quickly. I’ve only got one roll of fabric so if you like it you best pounce quickly.
Stoked to receive this comment from a customer who describes himself as ‘very satisfied’. Thanks Tim.
After several centuries of brainwashing to the contrary, ordinary men throughout the western world are beginning to realise that the wearing of skirt type garments is practical, logical, and extremely comfortable. So why the hell not do it?
And if it’s a skirt type garment you’re after that looks great on a bloke – you’ve come to the right place! This wide selection of exquisitely tailored ‘skilts’ is, I reckon, about the best in the world. Each pleat is individually cut to a broad flare and sewn so the whole thing hangs beautifully from your waist. What you see in the pictures is what you get.I bought three:DENIM – rough and tough as any pair of Levis I ever wore to work (but with the added advantage it will never wear out at the knees or pockets)
CORDUROY – same as above, but softer and cosy warm. If you’re off on a days hike down on the coast with your lunch and a hip flask you’d be an absolute idiot not to don one of these!
BLACK FLOCK – if you think this one LOOKS stunning…you should FEEL what it’s like to wear. BLOODY HELL!! I guarantee you will never, EVER, want to take it off!
After years of having garment rails in my lounge I now have a dedicated wardrobe for clients to browse. One of every stye and size of Skilt available – all neat and tidy. Next time you are in London why not come over and have a look?
And a toe curling brew it looks to be too. Check out all the old school exercise equipment in the background. It turns out that Dave runs the London Longsword Academy. So if you ever need to take revenge against a six fingered man … you know where to go for training.
