Finest Quality, Handcrafted Kilts

 

Your bespoke, tailored adult kilt will be an absolute best friend and be with you for your lifetime, sharing with you many life events and quiet times. Wearing your kilt will give you pleasure, confidence and a feeling of belonging.

Handcrafted from high-quality, hard-wearing 100% pure new wool, your kilt will cut a dash whether you’re celebrating your 21st with friends, walking down the aisle to marry the love of your life, or dancing Strip the Willow at your 70th birthday ceilidh…

 

The Askival of Strathearn kilts are works of art and priced from £750 upwards, depending on the chosen tartan and cloth and type of finishings. Future-proofed so you can grow together, an authentic, traditional kilt will require between seven and nine yards of fabric. It should be constructed in such a way as to be robust, retain its perfect fit and accommodate any required alteration during your time together.

 

If your kilt is commissioned for a milestone event such as your 18th, 21st or even for your wedding, there’s a distinct chance that you might “grow” slightly as the years progress. When Marion measures you for your kilt, your kilt will include extra material so it can be let out in the future as necessary. That way, you and your kilt can remain companions for life.

Kilt Restoration – A New Lease Of Life For Your Kilt

 

As you grow older, so does your kilt – only, depending on how the original maker constructed it, your kilt may not weather the years quite as well as you do…

 

Marion’s understanding of the kilt’s construction and tailoring skills will enable her to refit or restore your elderly or slightly damaged kilt to as near its former glory as is practicably possible, allowing you to enjoy the company of your beloved kilt for many years to come. It should (without wishing to be morbid!) “see you out."

 

Restoration may range from unpicking completely and carrying out total reconstruction with new canvasses and linings to re-stitching and reinforcing worn pleats, repairing minor tears, or replacing straps and buckles that have seen better days.
