In a machine sewn this wouldn&#8217;t have the dip it would be straight.<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The machine sewn kilt is made in a factory using cut outs of average sizes.\u00a0 There is a factory in Glasgow that is supplying most Kilt shops out there.\u00a0 Some unscrupulous retailers are charging around the same for these kilts as they would for a hand sewn and using phrases like Hand finished or Hand tailored to sell the kilt.\u00a0 \u00a0So, make sure you know what you\u2019re getting.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want a mediumweight or heavyweight kilt?<\/p>\n<p>There will be a lot of retailers that will try to convince you that heavyweight is best, it hangs well, stays in shape and will stand up to anything.\u00a0 Whilst these things are true, they are basing it on someone who will be wearing the kilt a lot.\u00a0 Most kilt wearers will only be wearing it for special occasions and so a mediumweight, which incidentally hangs just as well, stays in shape, if made correctly, and will stand up to most things.\u00a0 \u00a0Obviously, the heavyweight is more expensive.\u00a0 There\u2019s one reason retailers prefer it.\u00a0 However, there are a couple other reasons you would choose heavy or mediumweight.\u00a0 The heavyweight kilt does lend itself better to the larger gentleman and the mediumweight looks so much nicer on a wee skinny malinky.\u00a0 It will also depend on the mill, sometimes the tartan you want will only be woven in one or the other.\u00a0 A word of warning though, please do not go for a lightweight kilt.\u00a0 It may seem like the obvious choice if you live in warmer climes but the lighter the cloth the more it will stick to you and crush.\u00a0 We only use lightweight tartan for child&#8217;s kilts and ladies kilted skirts.\u00a0 If anyone tells you different\u2026run\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Do you get less than 8 yards?\u00a0 No&#8230;&#8230;. stick with 8 yards.\u00a0 Some places might recommend, if your slim, a 7 yard but you might not be that slim forever (from my own personal experience) and you want the kilt to be able to be adjusted when needed.\u00a0 The only time you would go for a 9 yard would be if you were over a 42&#8243; waist and that is only so the kiltmaker can get a good amount of pleats in the back.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully the kilt shops you go into will give you all this information in fact they should give you a lot more.\u00a0\u00a0 If you are still a bit unsure, and I have totally terrified you, there are kilt shops out there that are actually run by traditionally trained kiltmakers, so you can meet your kiltmaker and ask them anything, well almost \ud83d\ude09.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018True\u2019<\/strong> in Inverness, Irene is a beautiful kiltmaker and was trained by, what was at the time, considered the best.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65524 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt3-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt3-80x80.png 80w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt3.png 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018Scarlett Kilts<\/strong>\u2019 in Aberdeenshire, a family run business, Beverley Scarlett, an amazing and well respected kiltmaker, has trained up her daughter in the art and they have set up the business together.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65525 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"556\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt4.jpg 556w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt4-300x137.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018ScotClans\u2019<\/strong> in Edinburgh, another family run business, where you&#8217;ll also find yours truly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65526 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"726\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt5.jpg 726w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt5-300x170.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We have also set up <strong>&#8216;The Kiltmakery\u2019<\/strong> a community of traditionally trained kiltmakers that can come into the workroom, no matter who they\u2019re working for, bounce ideas off or help one another and of course chat.\u00a0 As the majority of kiltmakers work from home it can be quite a lonely profession.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65527\" src=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"697\" srcset=\"https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt6.jpg 960w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt6-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/project1-m9gb2xku8.live-website.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/kilt6-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So who can be bothered with shops these days what about online I hear you say, well;<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2000 a lot of retailers in the trade were adamant that you could not sell a kilt online and websites were a waste of money.\u00a0 Aye, they\u2019re all clambering to get online now and a wee bonus is you won\u2019t get a pompous \u2018expert\u2019 who\u2019s never made a kilt in their life try and sell you one in a lovely auld worldly shop.
