A custom made kilt should be very comfortable to wear – some might say even more comfortable than a suit! However, it is very important to make sure you are providing accurate measurements to the kilt maker….otherwise there will be disapointment in the fit. This is especially important for a heavy 8 or 9 yard kilt. The quality and luxurious 8 yard kilt is heavy, but when measured and fitted properly it is a wonderful kilt to wear. However, inaccurate measuring can result in the kilt “falling down” if it is measured too big. This goes for the 5 yard kilt as well. The kilt will either fell like it is falling down (measured too big) or may even not do up (measured too small). At Highland Shoppe, we have over 40 years of experience measuring (and wearing our own!) kilts. We have measured and outfitted a vast array of clients including Military Regiments, Police, pipe bands and hundreds of individuals. We are also well experienced with different body types and can advise the best weight of kilt (5 yards or 8 yards?) and fit for you. Moreover, we are HERE to serve you if any issues arise. We all love the convenience of on line shopping, however, shipping costs , duties, and brokerage fees are making on line shopping more expensive. What do you do if you have a problem with your kilt when it arrives and it does not fit??? Expect major costs and time delays in order to ship it back to the destination.
You can book your appointment with us to assure that you are getting a proper fitting kilt and all the accessories including jackets/vests and more. We offer in person fittings and virtual fittings from the comfort of your own home. Contact us today to book your Highland outfit fitting.
