- [The world is naked!](https://skilt.co.uk/2025/09/27/the-world-is-naked/): Canadian TV station TV5 visited me last year because they were in the UK making a show about nakedness. They were curious about the tradition of going commando. Sadly the whole show seems to be overdubbed in French – which is a shame because I had a go at using my best schoolboy French at the start of the interview. Watch the episode here.

In recent years, they are becoming more and more popular in the fashion world.  Before, you often saw people wear kilts on formal occasions. But actually, it’s quite OK to wear them in daily life. They are a versatile choice for any wardrobe.  Whether this is your first time wearing kilts or not, learning how to style them […]

In the mean time, if there is anything you fancy that we have in stock I can ask a friend to send it out to you. Best wishes, Richard.

- [Imitation Skilts](https://skilt.co.uk/2020/02/25/imitation-skilts/): They say that imitation is a form of flattery, well, I’m flattered.  Many thanks to Bruce for bringing these jokers (are there more??) to my attention. I’m offended by the punctuation in Kiltailor‘s “Utility Kilt For Active Men’s”. I notice that Royal Kilt likes the denim design so much they list it twice: an ordinary one cut out in photoshop and a “stylish” version (presumably due to the presence of my legs). Euro Kilt‘s Union Flag “Sublimation” kilt is a bit of a mystery.  According to Freud sublimation is the process of transforming libido into “socially useful” achievements, including artistic, […]
- [Weaponise your Skilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2020/02/14/weaponise-your-skilt/): Looking to mash your modern kilt with a more traditional Scottish look?  Why not add a traditional Sgian Dubh knife to the top of your sock?

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.

It will be in Wrocław… I think it will be a reason for gossips :)) I love (S)kilts ;)) With all the best… M.
- [Jonathan is edgy in his biker Skilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2015/09/09/jonathan-is-edgy-in-his-biker-skilt/): 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.
- [Tim is enthusiastic in his Skilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2015/08/26/tim-is-enthusiastic-in-his-skilt/): 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 […]

- [The kilt is a symbol of male emancipation](https://skilt.co.uk/2014/11/17/the-kilt-is-a-symbol-of-male-emancipation/): Clothing is a deeply political statement.  Here at Skilt we wholeheartedly support all our sisters in their right to wear trousers (or whatever else they choose – including nothing). Wearing a kilt out in public is not always the easiest thing for a man to do.  It takes balls.  But really it is nothing like what women in some other countries still face.  Show your solidarity with them by wearing your kilt with pride.
- [Union Flag kilt is now in stock](https://skilt.co.uk/2014/11/17/union-flag-kilt-is-now-in-stock/): Making a Union Flag kilt is a bit like doing a jigsaw.  The guys in the workshop have been hard at work finding the corners, completing the edges, filling in the sky … and, happily all the pieces were there.  We now have Union Flag kilts in stock.  Buy one here.
- [Nick wears his kilt every day for Movember](https://skilt.co.uk/2014/11/12/nick-wears-his-kilt-every-day-for-movember/): As you probably know Movember is the mens’ health charity.  All around the world men, most of whom are usually clean shaven, grow a moustache from scratch during the month of November in order to raise awareness and cash. Multiple Skilt owner Nick FfFoulkes has gone one better.  In addition to growing the tache, he is wearing a Skilt every day as he works as a kitchen fitter.  He’s not wearing a plain Skilt either … but one with kitties on it (ahh!) Please show your support for mens’ health and Nick by sponsoring him here. Nice one Nick!

- [Dr Franz wears his Skilt hiking in the Bavarian Alps](https://skilt.co.uk/2013/09/11/dr-franz-wears-his-kilt-hiking-in-the-bavarian-alps/): Apparently it wasn’t just the cows who were showing an interest!
- [BBC News - Sweden male train drivers wear skirts after shorts row](https://skilt.co.uk/2013/06/08/bbc-news-sweden-male-train-drivers-wear-skirts-after-shorts-row/): A dozen male train drivers in Sweden have circumvented a ban on shorts by wearing skirts to work in hot weather. The workers, who operate the Roslagsbanan line north of the capital Stockholm, have been wearing skirts to work for the past two weeks. Employer Arriva banned the drivers from wearing shorts after taking over the running of the line in January. But the company has given the men its blessing to wear skirts, according to local newspaper Mitti.” Our thinking is that one should look decent and proper when representing Arriva and the present uniforms do that. If the […]

- [Skirts set to be 'manliest' accessory | FJORDE MAGAZINE](https://skilt.co.uk/2013/02/24/skirts-set-to-be-manliest-accessory-fjorde-magazine/): A man skirt can only be pulled off if teamed with chunky shoes, a dark top, and for those less adventurous, pants. The key is to keep it masculine and strong and not have the skirt as the outfit’s centerpiece. It’s about time men threw off their fashion social shackles, took off their pants and put on a skirt! It’s much more liberating, and isn’t this precisely what we women fought for when we wanted to wear pants? Ironically, Paris revoked a 200-year-old law only three days ago, which stipulated women can’t wear pants in public unless given permission by […]
- [Greg rocks Paris in his black cord Skilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2013/01/27/greg-rocks-paris-in-his-black-cord-kilt/): According to Greg though Paris may be regarded by many as the fashion capital of the world Parisiens are not so confident when it comes to wearing what they design. “You’ve got London for that” he says.  Greg’s just been back to pick out his second Skilt: another black one but with fire insert pleats.  We are sure he’ll set Paris alight.

- [Union Flag kilt featured on the Alan Titchmarsh show](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/11/05/union-flag-kilt-featured-on-the-alan-tittchmarsh-show/): I appeared on the Alan Titchmarsh show today and I was able to wear one of our fabulous Union Jack kilts. The section of the show was related to the mens’ prostate cancer charity Movember and bizarre (I would have said magnificent) facial hair in general.  I was invited to attend as I recently became British freestyle beard champion. If you can be bothered to sit though the adverts our section starts at 17 minutes: Alan Titchmarsh show Please donate to my Movember page
- [Kilt headline](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/09/27/kilt-headline/): I have a shot at wearing either my Union Flag or George Cross kilt on TV for promotional purposes. It is for a show called Russel Howard’s Good News. To stand a chance I need to have an awesome headline and a good reason why I should be on his front page. I’m struggling for ideas. Can anyone help please?
- [Maik from Germany wears his Mexican Skilt to make Mexican Food](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/08/28/maik-from-germany-wears-his-kilt-to-make-mexican-food/): Why have hamburgers in Hamburg when you can have Mexican at El Pikosito?
- [The clothes that make the man | smh.com.au](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/08/16/the-clothes-that-make-the-man-smh-com-au/): From Braveheart’s era to the present day, the kilt has been synonymous with masculinity. But isn’t it just a skirt? From Braveheart to the hard-drinking, ginger-haired Scots who cause a boozy ruckus at weddings, the kilt has long been synonymous with a rough-and-tumble sense of masculinity. But change the fabric from tartan to a block colour and iron out the pleats and you have yourself a fetching knee-length skirt – an article of clothing the aforementioned filmic and social warriors wouldn’t be caught dead in. While fashion designer Marc Jacobs has pioneered the idea of the male skirt by wearing […]
- [Olympic Madness - Lee Thompson flys his Skilt at the closing ceremony](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/08/13/olympic-madness-lee-thompson-flys-his-kilt-at-the-closing-ceremony/): What an honour to see Lee Thompson, the saxophonist from Madness, in his St George Cross kilt at the Olympic closing ceremony last night.  Looks like the Englishness may have been an issue though as a couple of small Union Flags had been stitched onto the front.  Wish we’d had the opportunity to provide him with a Union Flag kilt instead.  Hopefully the George Cross one will be returned to its full glory for future gigs. Check out this video at 9’20”
- [New Steam Punk kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/08/04/new-steam-punk-kilt/): This is some of the most amazing fabric we have ever seen: a prince of wales check covered with complex gold, silver, and black embroidery.  Some kind of weird organic clockwork feel.  It looks good on the roll but it looks amazing as a kilt.  With brass buttons and buckles this really is a past future classic!  Click here to buy one!     If you love kilts and enjoyed this post please help other people find it by clicking on the G+1 button below:

- [Azeem Ibrahim: Why We Need an Islamic Tartan](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/07/23/azeem-ibrahim-why-we-need-an-islamic-tartan/): [slideshow]Meaningful symbols bring people in communities together. National flags, for example, play an important part in raising community awareness and pride. The flag of St. Andrew’s cross or the Saltire is as familiar in immigrant communities in Scotland as the crescent of Islam, with allegiance to both being a powerful component of citizenship. As a Scottish Muslim, I am deeply involved in the dynamics of community and the exploration of values of national and ethnic pride. Current discussion of independence and the future referendum is bringing a new focus to what it means to be a Scot, and Muslim communities […]
- [Q: Why Do We Wear Pants / trousers? A: Horses - Alexis Madrigal - The Atlantic](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/07/17/q-why-do-we-wear-pants-trousers-a-horses-alexis-madrigal-the-atlantic/): Q: Why Do We Wear Pants? A: Horses JUL 11 2012, 2:22 PM ET 61 The surprisingly deep history of trouser technology. Whence came pants? I’m wearing pants right now. There’s a better than 50 percent chance that you, too, are wearing pants. And neither of us have probably asked ourselves a simple question: Why? It turns out the answer is inexplicably bound up with the Roman Empire, the unification of China, gender studies, and the rather uncomfortable positioning of man atop horse, at least according to University of Connecticut evolutionary biologist Peter Turchin. “Historically there is a very strong […]
- [Mexican kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/06/10/mexican-kilt/): We were originally commissioned to create a Mexican kilt by a client who runs a Mexican restaurant.  The complex Mexico crest was always going to be a challenge.  According to Wikipedia: The current coat of arms of Mexico has been an important symbol of Mexican politics and culture for centuries. The coat of arms depicts a Mexican Golden Eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a snake. To the people of Tenochtitlan this would have strong religious connotations, but to the Europeans, it would come to symbolize the triumph of good over evil. The national coat of arms is also […]
- [Union flag kilt featured in Present's jubilee punk theme window](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/06/01/union-flag-kilt-featured-in-presents-jubilee-punk-theme-window/): If you’ve walked along Shoreditch High Street recently you’ve probably been drawn into the cornucopia of fabulous delights that is Present.  The FT’s ‘How to spend it‘ raves about them and says they stock “Brilliantly edited modern menswear that pushes fashion boundaries without going over the top”. I was wowed as I browsed through for the first time last winter.  It turns out that Eddie (the co-owner of Present and co-founder of the famous Duffer of St George) was equally wowed by the Union Flag kilt I was wearing. The upshot of this chance meeting (don’t we always meet more […]
- [The Ska Masters and the St George's Cross Skilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/05/02/the-ska-masters-and-the-st-georges-cross-kilt/): Our friend Barry from the Ska Masters rocked his St George’s Cross kilt at their gig supporting the legendary Bad Manners in Bradford, England.

MOVE is a live show from Wild Biscuit, fusing Scots piping with hip hop B-Boy, funk & jazz.  Like their facebook page here The band are all wearing black biker Skilts with featuring reflective piping stitched into every pleat:
- [Trend-spotting: Men In Skirts - Forbes](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/02/20/trend-spotting-men-in-skirts-forbes/): One of the more surprising trends to emerge from the Men’s Spring-Summer 2012 runway shows that just ended in Paris: skirts. Long, short, narrow, baggy, pleated, fringed — they came in all shapes and styles. Most seemed like a provocation or statement. Riccardo Tisci’s boxy skirts at Givenchy were printed with vaguely vaginal close-ups of bird-of-paradise flowers that made one think of Georgia O’Keeffe. Rei Kawakubo’s calf-length dresses at Comme des Garcons were a shocking Pepto-Bismol pink. Rick Owens’ hobble skirts were dour and monk-like — and looked like they would be very difficult to walk in. Japanese designer Yohji […]
- [New all tapestry kilts](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/02/03/new-all-tapestry-kilts/): Check out our new 100% tapestry kilts.  We got a couple of rolls of this fabric at a very special price so we can sell these to you for just £195 each.  Visit our shop. We like the leopard kilt teamed up with a plain black jacket to bring out the spots: We call the next one our ‘Abstract Plants kilt‘ … like gardening on acid.  We think it’s got a bit of an art deco / dandy look to it so we’ve teamed it here with a velvet smoking jacket:

- [Graham the cat helps design the Union Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/2012/01/16/graham-the-cat-helps-design-the-union-kilt/): I’ve had a design for a kilt with the Union Flag on the front for a while now.  It looks pretty good but I’ve never been 100% satisfied with it.  It didn’t adjust as neatly as my Classic Skilt design and, despite trying a number of innovative solutions, there was always the propensity for the wide apron to ‘tent’ across the knees when sitting (to the delight or chagrin of the person sitting opposite). Having a Union Flag that wraps across the pleats of a Classic design Skilt has been in the back of my mind for years but I’ve […]

This afternoon, the mail man was ringing at the doorbell. He delivered a parcel. It’s the brown big safari cat-kilt. The way the parcel was delivered, is more than a royal treatment.

There were more than 8 reactions […]

Kate Luck explores the relationship between trousers and feminism in the book ‘The Gendered Object‘: ‘In 1851, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Amelia Bloomer, two leading American feminist writers and activists, appeared in the streets of Seneca Falls in a costume which consisted of a sack coat, a loose-waisted dress which fell only to the knees […]

It only seems fair to share this information so you can decide for yourself. 🙂 “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” -Deuteronomy 22:5. This Scripture naturally raises questions as to–what […]
- [What kind of man wears a kilt?  A mature one.](https://skilt.co.uk/2011/04/14/what-kind-of-man-wears-a-kilt/): We believe that, in addition to looking and feeling great, the kilt is a symbol of the mature masculine.  A mature man is a man who has faced his emotions, stood up, and freed himself from the social expectations of the old fashioned macho man. The best description I have found for the new macho is by Boysen Hodgson published was on the Mankind Project website.  If you score 80% give yourself a pat on the back and consider rewarding yourself with a brand new Skilt! ‘He cleans up after himself. He cleans up the planet. He is a role model for young […]

He argues that Scotland’s literary, cultural and political traditions, which are claimed to date back from Roman times, were largely invented in the 18th century. The book, titled The Invention of Scotland: Myth and History, is to be published at the end of this month, five years after Lord Dacre died of cancer. Its controversial findings debunk many of the cultural arguments for Scottish independence, and are […]

The plan – recently declassified by the Public Records Office – was set up to protect World War II troops from mustard gas attacks. Kilt-wearing soldiers in the Scots regiments were particularly at risk because their legs were exposed to the poisonous gas. From the 1920s up until 1939, secret tests were carried out on volunteer soldiers dressed in long stockings and woollen bloomers. Wearing underwear, soaked in protective chemicals dissolved in white spirit, volunteers were exposed to mustard gas. The research […]

- [The kilt was invented by an Englishman](https://skilt.co.uk/2011/01/25/the-modern-kilt-was-invented-by-an-englishman/): According to Andrew Bolton’s ‘Bravehearts – Men in Skirts‘ the modern style of kilt known as the ‘little wrap’ (feileadh beag) was invented in the first quarter of the 18th century … by an Englishman!  The little wrap was an evolution of the ‘big wrap’ or belted plaid (feileadh beag). The belted plaid was constructed from a large rectangular piece of material about 5 feet wide and roughly 14-16 feet long and served as garment during the day and blanket at night.  In order to put the garment on the man would first pleat the cloth by hand and then […]
- [Draught guidance: a kilt need underwear - Telegraph](https://skilt.co.uk/2011/01/16/draught-guidance-a-kilt-need-underwear-telegraph/): The Scottish Tartans Authority has decreed that refusing to put on underwear beneath a kilt is “childish and unhygienic”. It also warned that “going commando” flies in the face of decency. Tartans Authority director Brian Wilton said kilt wearers should have the “common sense” to realise they should wear underwear beneath their country’s national dress. He said “The idea that you are not a real Scot unless you are bare under your kilt should be thrown into the same wastepaper basket as the idea that you’re not a real Scot unless you put salt on your porridge. “People should not […]

Perhaps I can take this opportunity to recommend London’s Ceilidh (pronounced Kay Lee) Club.  They hold regular events at Cecil Sharp House and Hammersmith Town Hall.  Tickets are about £15, genders are balanced, and booking in advance is advisable (though not […]

Our buttons are made of genuine corozo nut rather than plastic. The velcro will probably be black to match the buttons rather than the grey shown in the photos (but it is always covered by a belt so it makes little difference).
- [Grey Washable Melton with Yellow Raver Dashing Tweed Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/grey-washable-melton-with-yellow-raver-dashing-tweed-kilt/): Lovely soft, thick polyester-viscose washable “wool” melton with a yellow Dashing Tweed insert pleat.  The yellow tweed features reflective threads called “Lumatwill” that occasionally catch the light and other people’s attention!

Each waistcoat is made to order.  Choose your fabric.  Choose the colour of your lining.  You could even choose a contrast colour and put some piping around the edges!  Our guys know waistcoats and can do it all.

- [Guernsey Flag Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/guernsey-flag-kilt/): The flag of Guernsey was adopted in 1985 and consists of the red St George’s Cross with an additional gold Norman cross within it. The creation was prompted by confusion at international sporting events over competitors from Guernsey and England using the same flag. The kilt is made using hard wearing cotton drill and the applique cross is fixed in place with a tight zig zag stitch.
- [South African Flag Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/south-african-flag-kilt/): At the time of its adoption, the South African flag was the only national flag in the world to comprise six colours in its primary design. Three of the colours – black, green and yellow – are found in the banners of the African National Congress, the Pan Africanist Congress and the Inkatha Freedom Party – and are thus said to represent the country’s black population. The other three – red, white and blue – are displayed on the Dutch tricolour and the British Union flag and are said represent the country’s white population. The green pall (the Y-shape) is […]

- [Haitian Flag Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/haitian-flag-kilt/): We made this one as a special order for a client but we could always do it again. The central crest was harvested from a flag bought from Amazon.  When it arrived the central crest was a bit bigger than we expected so we ordered a smaller flag and the central crest was … bigger.  To accommodate the smaller of the large crests we had to make the front apron a bit wider than usual. The national flag of Haiti is a bicolour flag featuring two horizontal bands coloured blue and red, defaced by a white panel bearing the coat […]
- [Desert DPM Camouflage Combat Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/desert-dpm-camouflage-combat-kilt/): The design of these kilts is different from most of our others: they have wider front aprons and a simple wrap around closure. The Combat Skilt is a fusion of kilt and classic British Army combat clothing.  Old style button down belt loops allow a wide stable belt (not included) or 58 pattern webbing belt to we worn with ease. Wear the pockets at the side for the true combat look – on patrol or harboured up in the bar.  All buttons are made from corozo not plastic. The waists are very adjustable and the sizes overlap.  When deciding which to […]
- [Woodland DPM Camouflage Combat Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/woodland-dpm-camouflage-combat-kilt/): The design of these kilts is different from most of our others: they have wider front aprons and a simple wrap around closure. The Combat Skilt is a fusion of kilt and classic British Army combat clothing.  Old style button down belt loops allow a wide stable belt or 58 pattern webbing belt (not included) to we worn with ease.

- [Royal Marines Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/royal-marines-kilt/): The Corps of Royal Marines (RM) is the United Kingdom’s amphibious light infantry force, forming part of the Naval Service, along with the Royal Navy.[1] The Royal Marines were formed in 1755 as the Royal Navy’s infantry troops. However, the marines can trace their origins back to the formation of the English Army’s “Duke of York and Albany’s maritime regiment of Foot” at the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company on 28 October 1664. As a highly specialised and adaptable light infantry force, the Royal Marines are trained for rapid deployment worldwide and capable of dealing with a wide range […]
- [Royal Engineers Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/royal-engineers-kilt/): The Corps of Royal Engineers, usually just called the Royal Engineers (RE), and commonly known as the Sappers, is one of the corps of the British Army. It is highly regarded throughout the military, and especially the Army.
- [Grey Washable Melton Reflective Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/grey-washable-melton-reflective-kilt/): In the daytime this just looks like a subtle grey kilt in thick, soft poly viscose ‘washable wool / melton’ fabric.  But shine a light and 11.5m of reflective stripes pop out.  Perfect for cycling or clubbing. Our current washable melton fabric is a shade lighter than the one in the photos.
- [Woodland DPM Camouflage Reflective Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/woodland-dpm-camouflage-reflective-kilt/): A juxtaposition of camouflage fabric and about 11.5m of reflective piping.  Now you see me, now you don’t. Perfect for cycling or clubbing but not so good for patrolling.
- [Black Cotton Reflective Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/black-cotton-reflective-kilt/): Is it a pinstripe kilt?  At first glance perhaps but shine a light and you will see that each garment contains about 11.5m of reflective piping sewn into the seams.  Perfect for cycling or clubbing.
- [Charcoal Grey Chalk Stripe with Red Raver Dashing Tweed Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/charcoal-grey-chalk-stripe-with-red-raver-dashing-tweed-kilt/): A lovely quality wool mix chalk stripe fabric.  We centre each pleat on a stripe so that you get a balanced and symmetrical pattern on the finished garment. The Red Raver Dashing Tweed panel has reflective thread woven into it.  Flashy bugger!
- [Charcoal Grey Chalk Stripe Button-Up Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/charcoal-grey-chalk-stripe-button-up-kilt/): This kilt is made out of a beautiful medium weight wool mix chalk stripe fabric.  We ensure that each pleat is centred on a stripe so the overall effect is even and symmetrical. Buttons are made from corozo not plastic.
- [Electric Blue Rubberised Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/electric-blue-rubberised-kilt/): 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. Wash in soapy water – do not dry clean!
- [Silver Metallic Rubberised Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/silver-metallic-rubberised-kilt/): 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 is metallic rather than reflective. Wash in soapy water – do not dry clean!
- [Leopard Tapestry Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/leopard-tapestry-kilt/): Saharan Africa meets medieval England in this kilt made of thick woven tapestry fabric.
- [Cat Tapestry Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/cat-tapestry-kilt/): A kilt covered with cute little kitty cats.  I realise that most of you won’t like this.  Some of you may think it is the worst kilt ever.  But some of you will think it is purr-fect and love it so much you can’t click fast enough.  Go on, you know you want it! 21.5 inches long (one inch shorter than usual for some reason.)
- [DC Comics' Superman Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/dc-comics-superman-kilt/): Is it a skirt?  Is it a kilt?  No, it’s a Skilt! Perfect for Comic Con!  This kilt is made from officially licensed DC Comics Superman fabric.  The fabric itself is a lightweight cotton drill so is perfect for summer wear.  The design is randomised and so yours will probably look a bit different to the one in the pictures. Now served with natural leather straps as the black ones were at risk of dropping dye onto the light fabric.
- [Grey Prince of Wales Check Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/grey-prince-of-wales-check-kilt/): This kilt is made out of a beautiful medium weight wool mix Prince of Wales check fabric.  Even though the pattern is quite subtle we ensure that all the checks match.
- [Brown Corduroy Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/brown-corduroy-kilt/): A lovely cozy kilt in a medium weight, medium rib cord.  Ideal for the winter.
- [Lightweight Silver Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/lightweight-silver-kilt/): This silver kilt 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!
- [Striped Denim Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/striped-denim-kilt/): This kilt is perfect for the summer time.  Team it with your favourite Oxford shirt or boating blazer perhaps?
- [Indigo Denim Kilt with reflective panel](https://skilt.co.uk/product/indigo-denim-kilt-reflective/): This kilt is made out of a high quality medium weight denim and sewn with silver grey thread.  But that’s not all: at the back there is a surprise flash of reflective grey fabric – like you get on hi-viz vests.
- [Black Leopard Flock Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/black-leopard-flock-kilt/): I made some kilts with fabric a bit like this a few years ago and they went like hot cakes.  I’m pleased to say that I’ve got a reasonably large roll of this stuff so get ’em while they’re hot guys! Yep – a black on black leopard flock kilt.  Looks great dressed up or dressed down.  People WILL ask you about this kilt.
- [Black Leather Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/black-leather-kilt/): We are usually able to source black leather fairly easily but if you want another colour just let us know and we can ask at out leather merchant.
- [Rainbow  / Gay Pride Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/rainbow-gay-pride-kilt/): This Skilt is ideal for summer fun.  It’s 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. We now make this kilt with thicker “duchesse” satin sourced from Germany (it is difficult to find all the colours!)  This is much more robust than the thinner satin we first used.
- [Inner Fire Hidden Pleat Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/inner-fire-hidden-pleat-kilt/): Just like you this kilt has inner depths. At first glance it is a plain black cotton drill kilt but give it a swish and it reveals INNER FIRE!  That’s right, each pleat has a special extra pleat inserted inside. This insert pleat is positioned a little way in so the edges don’t poke out … only when you move will the secret be revealed. Lots of fun jumping around to show this one off!
- [Black Adventure Kilt (with D-rings and a secret pocket)](https://skilt.co.uk/product/black-adventure-kilt-with-d-rings-and-a-secret-pocket/): This Skilt is made from hard wearing medium weight cotton drill. Each belt loop has it’s own D-ring (11 in all) so you can attach your penknife, compass, (or flogger!) to your person. The under apron features a secret pocket with secure velcro closure.  A safer place for your passport, credit cards, and folding money. Perfect for a visit to the Congo … or the shops.
- [Mexican Flag Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/mexican-flag-kilt/): We were originally commissioned to create a Mexican kilt by a client who runs a Mexican restaurant.  The complex Mexico crest was always going to be a challenge.  According to Wikipedia: The current coat of arms of Mexico has been an important symbol of Mexican politics and culture for centuries. The coat of arms depicts a Mexican Golden Eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a snake. To the people of Tenochtitlan this would have strong religious connotations, but to the Europeans, it would come to symbolize the triumph of good over evil. The national coat of arms is also […]
- [USA / Stars and Stripes / American Flag Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/usa-stars-and-stripes-american-flag-kilt/): 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 stripes 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. Now served with natural leather straps as the black ones were at risk […]
- [British / Union Jack / Union Flag Kilt](https://skilt.co.uk/product/british-union-jack-union-flag-kilt/): This is the most complex and eye-catching kilt we have ever made: a Union Flag that wraps around the pleats of the kilt.  It is so eye catching that you can expect to be stopped in the street by admirers and those asking for photographs.  It comes with the usual set of detachable pockets in blue. The design of the garment looks simple at first glance but it is much more complex than a folded flag.  Every single pleat has it’s own pattern and is individually made with the red and white components cut from fabric and stitched on with a close […]
- [St George's Cross / English Flag Kilt (in off-white)](https://skilt.co.uk/product/st-georges-cross-english-flag-kilt/): Launched in January 2010 we believe that this was the first ever commercially available English kilt (please let us know if we are wrong!)  We used to make this Skilt in pure white denim but it marked too easily so now we use an off-white / natural denim.  Wear with or without the pockets supplied. Now served with natural leather straps (the black ones dropped some dye) 😮 Perfect for when England play Scotland in the rugby and popular with ska fans.   As worn by Lee Thompson of Madness while performing at the London 2012 Olympic closing ceremony.
