Traditional Handsewn Kilt
Interested in having your very own handsewn kilt made in Scotland? Look no further!
Tamra can make kilts for gents, ladies, children, and highland dancers.
​
The most traditional kilts (regulation kilt) have a minimum of 8 yards of cloth, but you can also opt for a kilt with less cloth (casual kilt) if you're looking for something a bit different.
​
Contact Tamra today to chat about which type of kilt is right for you!
​
Casual versus Regulation:
•A Casual kilt uses around 5.5 to 6.5 yards of cloth, where a regulation kilt uses between 8 to 10 yards. This will change the finished weight of the kilt, some folks prefer a lighter garment.
•Casual kilts use 2 buckles and straps, where regulation kilts use 3 buckles and straps.
•Casual kilts have fewer and slightly wider pleats (average 20) and a regulation kilt has more and slightly thinner pleats (average 27).

Kilt Alterations
Already have a kilt, but it needs a little TLC in order to be worn again?
Have Tamra take a look at it for assessment and see what your alteration options are.
​
Cost: No fee due for assessment of the kilt. Cost will vary depending on what type of alternation is needed and time required to complete it. Quote will be provided after assessment.
​
**Please note that your kilt may not be able to be altered to your required new measurements, depending on how it was originally made or if there is a large difference between new and original measurements.**
​
Some alterations will require additional cloth - depending on the age of the kilt it can be difficult to find an exact match of the tartan.
