Description
The Barnes Ancient tartan, made up as a traditional kilt and cut to your own measurements.
Made for you, not off a shelf
Nothing here is pre-made. You send us your waist, hip and length measurements and the kilt is cut and hand-stitched to those figures by our kilt makers. The straps then give a further two inches of adjustment either way, so it still fits if your size shifts.
Specification
- Cloth: Acrylic wool, woven in the Barnes Ancient sett
- Pleating: Your choice — pleated to the sett, or pleated to the stripe
- Front apron: Triple fringed
- Straps and buckles: 100% leather straps, rust-free buckles
- Lining: Cotton, for comfort and to help the kilt hang properly
- Waist: Adjustable two inches above and below your measurement
- Belt loops: Fitted as standard
Looking after it
Hand wash in cold water and hang to dry. Keep it away from harsh chemicals and the colours will stay true.

These are body measurements, not garment measurements. Kilted skirts fit at the waist and buckle an inch either way, so choose by waist, then check the hip.
