Rocky, owner and head kilt maker of USA Kilts in Spring City PA, walks you through how to put on all the various parts of a full kilt outfit - also known as Highland Dress, Scottish National Dress or Highland Wear. This is how to wear a full kilt outfit with all the accessories. We chose to show a tweed kilt jacket for this demo since the Argyll jacket and Prince Charlie jacket do not require color matching and are therefore a bit easier.
* In this video you will learn how to...
- Put on Ghillie Brogues
- Put on Kilt Hose (kilt socks) and Flashes (the garters that keep your socks up)
- Put on a Kilt Belt and adjust it to your waist size
- wear a sporran and how to adjust the sporran chain
- How to color match a tweed jacket to your kilt
- Wear to place a Sgian Dubh
- How to choose the right shirt for your kilt outfit
- Where to place the kilt pin

This is JUST in time. The largest Highland games in North America is set for the 21st of this month. I'm told there will be multiple vendors attending, which means a great opportunity for shopping.

Kilt belts must be a relatively modern addition. I didn't start seeing them till the early 90s.

I learned a couple of things through watching this video. Just when you think you know it all, you learn something new. Excellent video!

I've been wearing a kilt for longer than I care to remember, the kilt belt fitting and sporran tips were new to me and will now be part of my routine. Thanks

I have learned a lot about kilts from all the videos you produce. I never knew there was so much to learn about how to wear kilts.

@pipsheppard6747 11 месяцев назад

A much improved and more detailed video than the one done in 1946, Rocky. those neat little tricks really do help. Very well done!

I recently purchased a kilt to celebrate my Scottish and Welsh ancestry, boy did I struggle getting it to fit correctly the first time. Your video was GREAT! Thanks for the fitting tips.

Fantastic guide for new and or experienced alike. I've been a drummer in a pipe band for decades and still learned some useful tricks from this. Thank you.

@propyro85 11 месяцев назад

A little note for kilt pin placement, I usually like to have the pin sit on an intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines near the corner of the apron. I find that having it sit on an intersection helps draw the eye to it, and it just feels right in my mind.

Just watched your video. very good... But... Here (over the pond) in Scotland. The best way to make sure that your kit is sitting right has it's hard to see it. Is the A: have a large mirror to dress in front of. B: Go on your knee's. It SHOULD sit 2 inches above your knee. It does not matter about how high it is above your belly button has no one will see the top of your kilt has you will have a vest and jacket over it. (Some people have a shorter trunk than others. But we should all look / dress the same). But everyone will see how high it is above your knee. Your belt trick I have never seen before. But I tried it.... Dam it works! Wearing the belt with a vest has always been open to many, many, many long talks. And when there are long talks, there is drinking involved (I've seen some of your other video's. So you know where I am on this). And has a clansman. I hope this will be a long conversation for years to come. When you wear a vest you don't need to have the belt. It will not be seen that much. But people do wear it with their vest has later in evening they know that they will be having a `long conversation´ way into the night and at some point the vest will be off. The other thing is when wearing a full dress sporran. A full dress sporran is a little bigger and has metal at the top and this can bang on the belt when sitting down. So this is more of a personal thing. You are spot on with how to set-up your sporran chain!! But there are so many that still don't know this. The holes at the back of the kilt are for the belt, this is why it is of a large size it fit the belt. And of cause we pass the sporran chain there also. Spot on with the kilt pin. I have seen so many try and put it into both layers.

@dougmarshall5324 9 месяцев назад

Now as a Scotsman you need to review the extension buckle for the kilt as we get old perhaps the waist fluctuates 😮 It is more cost effective than a new kilt by far .... worth reviewing for those that have given up wearing but don't know an alternative.

@LILACJENNIFER 11 месяцев назад

Rocky Sir, you have just done a wonderous thing this day. Removing the mistery and fear relating to Kilt wearing that a great many men have, not least the mysteries regards to what is under the kilt. A huge thank you from England.

@scottmasson3336 11 месяцев назад

I was instructed 40 years ago when buying my first pair of ghillie brogues that you should tie your laces on the outside of your leg. This was to stop them being a problem during energetic entertainments.😊

@stevenwaldrop7853 11 месяцев назад

😯 Great tip for sizing the belt. I never thought of that. I have to adjust my belt for different kilts and this will make it much easier. Thanks!

@propyro85 11 месяцев назад

Seriously, after spending a good 5-7 minutes of guessing where to adjust my belt to, this would have been a much simpler way to do it.

@Pef273 8 месяцев назад

Wish this was around when I started with the band! Great tip to put chain over buckle. Additional tip: on kilt pin, a small safety pin on the inside can make sure it doesn’t unhook and fall off when traveling in cars.

@dusty6570 11 месяцев назад

@louislamonte334 11 месяцев назад

@lorduggae 11 месяцев назад

I liked the tip for easy sizing of the kilt belt. I hadn't thought of doing it that way before. I do usually put my kilt belt through the sporran loops, makes it feel (to me) a bit more secure.

@sgtkabukiman9411 11 месяцев назад

I do that with the belt too as I find when I sit or bend, the belt rises and the kilt drops below the belt.

@lorduggae 11 месяцев назад

@@sgtkabukiman9411 same reason here. I like to keep it from shifting around too much.

I think tie garters (for shooting socks) are more classy than flashes.

@viking_nephilim8883 11 месяцев назад

Depends on the person. For a big person, flashes are the better option, for a smaller person, both work well.

@propyro85 11 месяцев назад

I don't know about always being classier, but they certainly look a lot better than poorly made flashes.

How would you reccommend wearing a sporran with a great kilt?

@nancyirwin3150 11 месяцев назад

I may be wearing a kilt for our local pipe band someday, so are any of these directions different for women?

@propyro85 11 месяцев назад

No, it should be the same if you're wearing the same length kilt as the men. I believe the idea is to have a clean uniform appearance. There may be a few differences in the jackets cut, but you'd still put it on the same ... I say with no experience piping.

@kiltedpatriotatheart 11 месяцев назад

I like where you pulled your kilt pin from. I keep mine in my sporran as well! (along with my hose...) However, I do pin both layers, to keep my kilt closed. Is that bad?

@richardwhite3924 11 месяцев назад

I pin both layers, especially if it is a windy day. 🙂

@ianthekiltmaker 11 месяцев назад

NOT recommended. If you pin the aprons together, it creates a small risk of a tear if your apron catches on a doorknob or a chair arm. It likely won't happen, but if it does it could be disastrous. Also, you want the kilt to be able to flex and move. The aprons should not perfectly overlap at all times, they should be able to move against each other and spread when you sit down or take long strides.

@kiltedpatriotatheart 11 месяцев назад

@@ianthekiltmaker Okay, good to know! Thanks, Ian!

@propyro85 11 месяцев назад

It's believed there's a historic precedence for pinning both aprons together, but that's inferred from looking at photos from the turn of the last century, where we see kilt pins being worn much higher (like in the mid-thigh area). You wouldn't want to pin through both aprons in the position where they're typically worn today, as mentioned by Ian, you're at a much higher risk of tearing the fabric if you suddenly find yourself needing to be very athletic. These days, the kilt pin is sort of an optional wind weight that keeps the front apron from flapping too much in the breeze, and is an accent piece.

@massmanute 7 месяцев назад

For a special reason I would need to have the kilt length to be no higher than the bottom of the knee. (No option to wear it much higher than that, so please do not suggest that option.) Realizing that it would not be an ideal length, how bad would that length look?
