It can be a daunting task finding your perfect quilt. A good quality quilt will be with you for many years to come, so you want to make sure that you get it right. The good news is that you are in the right place. Below we will take the hard work out of finding the perfect kilt, and give you some tips to use when shopping.
Kilt vs Kilt Outfit
First, you should think about whether you want a kilt or a full kilt outfit that is complete with a jacket, waistcoat and accessories. To make the decision you should think about how you want to wear your kilt and what you already have in your closet. Braemar or Argyll jackets are a bit shorter than normal suit jackets and are designed to complement the shape of a kilt. If you are buying your kilt for a black-tie event, then you should opt for a Prince Charlie Jacket and waistcoat instead of a tuxedo jacket.
Budget
Next, you’ll want to think about how much you are willing to spend. Many times this will be the deciding factor. No matter your budget there is a well-made quilt for you. Custom made kilts are made by experienced tailors, who are independent most times. This is a great option for those who are willing to spend a bit more and want a personalized kilt.
Timeline
When do you need your kilt by? You should have a timeframe in mind for when you would like to have your kilt as this can help you determine if you can get something personalized, and need one that is ready to go. Most custom kilts can be completed anywhere between four to six weeks depending on the availability of your chosen materials.
Event
Where will you be wearing your kilt? If you are shopping for a kilt for a special occasion like your wedding you will probably want to invest in a custom kilt. If you need it for everyday use, then an already made quilt will be the way to go.
Choose Your Tartan
Either you’ve found the perfect kilt or you’re having it made, the next step is to choose your favourite tartan. With over 500 tartans to choose from, it all comes down to your personal style and preference.
Complementary Accessories
Now that you’re got your kilt, jacket, and waistcoat figured out, you’ll want to choose some great accessories to pull everything together. You can choose from a range of accessories that include, but are not limited to headgear, belts, and a Sporran.
For all of your kilt needs come into Tartantown.
