Men's Tartan Kilt: A Symbol of Scottish Heritage

A men tartan kilt is a knee-length skirt-like garment, traditionally made from wool and characterized by its distinctive tartan pattern. It's a cornerstone of Scottish Highland dress and has evolved from the "great kilt," a full-body garment worn centuries ago.

Key Features:

  • Tartan Pattern: The defining characteristic of a kilt is its tartan, a checkered pattern created by weaving colored threads into wool. Each tartan often has its own unique history and association with a specific Scottish clan or region.
  • Pleated: The kilt features pleats at the back, giving it a distinctive silhouette.
  • Wool: Traditionally made from wool, kilts offer warmth and durability. However, modern versions may use other fabrics like acrylic or cotton blends.
  • Length: Knee-length is the standard, but variations exist
  • Fastening: Kilts typically wrap around the waist and are secured with a kilt pin.
