UT Kilts Premium Wool Kilt vs Standard Wool Kilt
We currently have two types of wool kilts: The Premium and The Standard. While both are constructed in very similar ways, there are some differences. The standard style kilt here has only up to 5 yards of material and only uses 2 buckle straps. The premium (this listing) has 3 buckle straps and uses 6-8 yards of material. That gives you a heavier kilt with better "swing" in the pleats and a more traditional looking kilt.
This is a universal tartan. That means it does not have any clan or other affiliation. From the Scottish Tartans Authority:
"This sett is based on Logans 'Sutherland' tartan. Various thread counts appear in Wilsons pattern books of roughly the same proportions. Documents show that this was the tartan appointed for the Highland Companies in 1725 and later for the Black Watch in 1739. Slightly different count from 42nd Regiment. Sample in STA's Scarlett Collection. Sinclair/Brown Scrapbook (started in the 1930s) provides a particularly dark sample with the notes: " . . . worn by Earl of Sutherland 1719 [Portrait] and known to have been used by the clan and by the Gordons in the early 17th century."
Who can wear this tartan?
This tartan is classified as a universal or fashion tartan. You do not need to have any special historical or ancestral connection to wear it.

Fits great, nice weight, looks to be built very well and priced reasonably. I'm a happy camper. This is my fifth kilt from UT Kilts
The exchange rate, shipping charges and customs added up. Nothing to do with you. Doubled the price. But still a good deal for me. Super service with USPS. Thanks Brice.

I hate long sleeved diapers...
The title says it all! Unfortunately, winter forces them upon me.
However, when the weather is warm enough, these articles make it very difficult to decide which one I'm going to wear for the day. (Now I understand the woman's dilemma.)
I have tried purchasing kilts from other vendors with minimal success. Henceforth, I will be purchasing any and all future kilts and accessories from Bryce and UTKilts. Especially after the phone number for one such vendor has now become the phone number a furniture company. -
Wonderfully warm
This is a kilt that will likely impress your Scottish Grandma, it is a great looking kilt and warm enough for early winter and even to Christmas dinner, Gran will be also impressed with the thriftiness of a UT Kilts purchase.

Premium Black Watch Wool Tartan Kilt
This is my third kilt and it is quickly becoming my favorite. With the temperatures getting lower & lower, I was dreading having to wear pants again. But this full wool kilt keeps me warm enough to not wear pants again. It looks fantastic and draws a lot of attention.
