We do our best to ensure our Phoenix Kilts is as Fire Resistant as possible, with extra features for fire safety. To do this, we use a heavy duty 100% Cotton as Recommended by Fire Performers, this should give you a nice +5 boost to fire resistance.
Now, of course we need to disclaim that this does NOT make you 100% fireproof, if you run into a burning building wearing just your kilt, you will get burned!!! We hold no responsibility for accidents or injury caused by exposing our Kilts to flame or extreme temperatures. As always, safety first, when in doubt, leave it to the professionals!!
These kilts also come with our Velcro Fastening System, and our Flex Pleat Design, for easy removal or change during performances or daily wear, added comfort, and detachable pockets so you can keep them out of the way when they are not needed.
Sizing yourself for a Kilt shouldn’t be a chore, and will usually only take a minute. However, it is important its done correctly to ensure you get a perfect fit the first time.
(Note: We don’t usually offer refunds or exchanges for incorrectly sized orders, so make sure you measure up correctly!)
Sizing yourself for a kilt is a simple and quick process. Firstly, you need to understand a Kilt can be worn in two main ways, so you will need to measure for one of these. On the waist/hip (like a pair of jeans or shorts, ‘comfort fit’), or at the belly (‘traditional fit’). Most modern Utility Kilt wearers today seem to prefer wearing them at the hip, as this is what they are most used to when wearing other clothing, but either way is fine. We do recommend if you’re wearing our Deluxe Kilts you give the hip/waist position a try, as we feel this offers the greatest comfort, although, its really up to personal preference.
For best results, a cloth measuring tape is best used (pictured above), if you don’t have one of these, a peice of string, a belt, or something similar can be used very carefully, then measure the length that it wraps around you using a ruler or normal tape measure. Again, when when using a cloth measuring tape, be VERY CAREFUL you measure accurately, we suggest you do a couple runs (even when using a cloth tape) in order to ensure you have got the right measurements.
When selecting your size, simply select the size range you are inside. If you are inbetween a size, then select the next size up. For example, if I measure myself at 85cms (inbetween sizes for a small and a medium), then I would order a Medium. Simply follow our sizing chart below!
Small – 28″ – 33″ / 71cm – 84cm
Medium – 34″ – 39″ / 86cm – 99cm
Large – 40″ – 45″ / 101cm – 115cm
X-Large – 46″ – 51″ / 116cm – 130cm
