Product Description

jhiggins-logo-2-2-1423932890-49831.png

Your J. Higgins Kilt is finely tailored from premium Scottish wool by our own kilt makers here in Kansas City since 1983. Each kilt is carefully crafted from authentic tartans imported from Scotland. Our kilt makers will tailor your kilt to have 3 buckles/straps, belt loops, and double fringe on the front apron. Each kilt is fully lined in the waist. Matching tartan flashes are also available here: https://www.jhiggins.net/flashes/

This is a custom garment that cannot be returned. Because we make these kilts to order, please know that delivery is approximately 12 to 14 weeks. This is a general estimate.  

Firmly grounded in tradition, we believe our kilts are among the best kilts made in the world. Let us make yours.

MEASURING:

Use only a cloth tape measure when taking kilt measurements. Do not use rulers, or metal tape measures. However, we can copy a current total length if you have an existing kilt already. Please mention this in the comments section of your order. Check out our video and measurement guide below for helpful suggestions on how to measure for your kilt:

YARDAGE:

Pricing will change depending on sizes submitted and amount of material needed for the individual. Price ranges are as follows: 

7 yard kilt (Hips up to 37") $495

8 yard kilt (Hips 38 to 46") $520

9 yard kilt (Hips 47 to 55") $570 

PLEATING:

There are two ways to pleat your kilt in the back. You can either pleat it to the sett so the tartan is shown front and back in the same way, or pleat it to the line so that we choose one line to emphasize which then makes the pleating pattern look completely different than the front. Some tartans don't lend themselves to pleating to the line. We show you an example of both in the photos below using the Royal Stewart tartan. If you're in doubt, we strongly suggest you pleat to the sett as pleating to the line can make a stark difference. First time kilt wearers should maybe avoid pleating to the line.

  1. A quality kilt for those on a budget

    Posted by Unknown on 21st Oct 2020

    I ordered a custom fit kilt about 2 years ago to use for my own gigs and contests, and I must say that you cannot beat the quality craftsmanship at the price that J Higgins sells for. It is sturdy and comfortable, has no signs of wear or tear, and still hangs neatly after light use throughout the years.

    My ONLY concern, which again has still not happened, is that the threads holding the buckles may come undone. They look fairly loose but again this is a mild concern in the face of durability for the past 2 years. Would absolutely recommend someone looking for a kilt to buy through J Higgins.

  2. A Perfect Heirloom

    Posted by Michael Hayward on 5th Oct 2020

    It took a while to get it, because of the COVID pandemic, but it was well worth the wait! Deep pleats, perfectly to the line, even the belt loops are invisible. Amazing quality 16oz. kilt that will serve as the perfect heirloom to hand down to the next generation and many after that. With all those generations of use, it's a great investment!

  3. Beautiful

    Posted by ken on 19th Jul 2020

    What can I say about the excellent service I received from J Higgins. I was told the mill in Scotland was 12 weeks out for the tartan pattern I had chosen, then out of the blue I received my kilt early, very early and it is Perfect. They also remade a cover for my pipes that turned out perfect again. I will always go to them first for my needs. 5 Stars for service and products they have control over.

  9. Excellent Product!

    Posted by Bryan on 13th Apr 2018

    My made to order kilt is superb in fit and quality. The company was very professional and knowledgeable about making my kilt and getting it to me. They go above and beyond in customer service. All of my future kilt purchases will be made through J.Higgins. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase a kilt.

  10. Perfect

    Posted by Jannie on 13th Mar 2018

    Mr. Higgins was very patient with my millions of questions about measurements. He took the time through email to inform me and educate me to make sure I would be getting what I wanted. And his responses were always very quick. The kilt is perfectly aligned, beautiful stitching and it fits me exactly how I wanted it to.
