Fit and Measuring Guide (Simple + Accurate)

A kilt looks best when the fit is right. Kilts don’t sit like jeans. They sit higher on the waist, usually around the belly button area.

Measure these for the best fit:

1. Waist (where you will actually wear the kilt—higher than jeans)

2. Hips/Seat (widest part around your hips)

3. Kilt length (from waist position down to the middle of the knee)

Pro tip: If you’re between sizes, choose the option that gives you comfortable room at the waist. A good kilt fit should feel secure—not tight.

Care and Maintenance

A quality tartan kilt is made to be worn, not hidden in a closet. With basic care, it stays sharp for a long time.

General care tips:

• Hang it properly after wearing (helps pleats stay neat)

• Spot clean small marks quickly

• Keep it stored in a cool, dry place

• If you iron pleats, use low heat and protection cloth (or steam lightly)

(If you tell me the exact fabric—wool, acrylic, poly-viscose—I’ll tailor this section precisely.)
