When designing our leather kilt, we spent months sourcing hides with the right quality of thickness and suppleness. We also experimented with different hems, and found any form of hem created issues with the pleating, and leather does not fray like other materials so the most superb result came from leaving the leather along the bottom as a simple cut edge. The only visible sewing is down the side of the apron, where the fringe would be with tartan, which needs a hem for strength. We did consider a mock fringe by cutting the leather, but this looks far better without!

Scotweb’s MD, Dr Nicholas J Fiddes, has written a free illustrated e-book, as a gift to help kilt lovers everywhere. In simple non-technical language it covers every aspect of buying a kilt, choosing your tartan, and accessorising an outfit for every occasion.
As a Governor of the Scottish Tartans Authority, and founder of the world’s first company to market kilts on the Internet (yes, Scotweb) no one is better qualified to offer such advice. Impartial and objective, this is a personal work and is not a Scotweb publication.
