Kilt Length Tailoring.
Let’s unravel the secret to kilt perfection—the length! A well-fitted kilt isn’t all about aesthetics; It’s also about striding with confidence and swaying with grace.
1. Kilt Length Tailoring.
The traditional kilt length typically falls just above the knee. This length is timeless, versatile, and ideal for formal occasions, ceilidhs, and clan gatherings. Achieving the classic kilt length can be done by measuring from your waist (where you’ll wear the kilt) to the middle of your kneecap.
2. The Boldly Short.
Are you feeling daring? Opting for a shorter kilt is your ticket that flies on the mid-thigh territory. It’s rebellious, playful, and perfect for showing off those calves, especially on particularly warm or hot days.
Just keep in mind that this kilt length is not for the faint-hearted. Confidence is your best accessory for this kilt length.
3. The Swish Factor.
The swish is the magical sound of pleats as you move. The longer your kilt, the more swish you’ll enjoy. This kilt length typically extends below one’s kneecaps. Some men do choose this kilt length to add swagger to their look that makes them swish like a highland breeze.
4. The Custom Sweet Spot.
Here’s where Ozkilts shines. We offer custom lengths tailored to your preference. Want the drop an inch longer? Done. Prefer it shorter? Absolutely. Measure with precision from your waist to your desired hemline. Contact eden@ozkilts.com for more information on custom orders.
NOTE: All our kilts are a standard/average, about 61 cm. (24-inch drop). Generally speaking, in our years of selling kilts, we’ve never had an issue with our standard drop length. Remember that your kilt should feel like a second skin—comfortable, expressive, and uniquely yours.
Unique Accessory Additions.
Accessories enhance the overall look of your utility kilt. A kilt can be styled in various ways to create different looks and tell a story. Every accessory is a character in this epic tale. Let’s adorn it with accessories that echo ‘This is me!’
1. Buckles.
If you happen to have a clan crest, wear your heritage with pride. A buckle with your clan’s crest is a design that’s uniquely yours and celebrates your lineage.
You may also opt to go for ‘monogram magic’ by personalising your buckle with your initials, a special date, or a symbol representing your kilted journey.
2. Belts.
Wearing a kilt belt depends on what you are wearing. It’s a personal choice, and many of our most loyal customers wanted one, which prompted us to come up with our utility kilt belt. It’s our most requested accessory and is built to last.
It is an absolute must-have for a kilt to have a wide belt with a coloured buckle or a plain one with a buckle. Go against tradition and wear a dark-coloured belt, then opt for one with a silver buckle to break up the monotony.
3. Cargo Pockets.
Traditional kilts have no pockets. Unlike its traditional cousin, it’s definitely against the rules to wear a kilt without a sporran, such rules do not bind modern utility kilts. Ozkilts utility kilts come with detachable cargo pockets. If you don’t need to carry anything, simply detach them.
4. Suspenders.
It is common to wear suspenders with a kilt. Belts are a good alternative to suspenders if you don’t want to wear them.
5. Shirt and Vest.
It is important to choose a shirt that fits the occasion you will be attending with your kilt. Wearing a vest can also be the most comfortable and functional piece of clothing you can wear with a kilt.
6. Jacket or Coat.
When the occasion calls for a jacket or coat, you should wear one, as an added protection for the elements.
7. Brooch or Crest Pin.
Brooches or crest pins are often meant to be pinned to a shirt or the waistband of your kilt to decorate it. Although this accessory is less common, it is still popular.
8. Shoes.
When you wear a kilt, shoes aren’t the first item you’d think of. This is understandable since the kilt will be the first thing people will take notice of, however, that doesn’t mean shoes are less significant.
You can choose to wear any kind of shoes to match your kilt. You can wear sneakers or athletic shoes with your kilt if you are attending a casual event. Perhaps the only unwritten rule you can follow with kilts and shoes is to select shoes that best complement your kilted outfit and the activity or event you’ll be attending.
Kilt Material.
We understand that a kilt is only as good as the fabric it’s crafted from. The most common materials are cotton, denim, and polyester. Wool, leather, and tartan can also be used, each with its unique characteristics and benefits.
Ozkilts uses high-grade cotton, cotton blends, and cotton stretch fabrics for its kilts both for everyday wear and for special occasions. Why settle for less when you can have the best? Here’s why Ozkilts chooses cotton for our kilts:
- Durability.
