A well-fitted kilt makes all the difference. Our experienced tailors ensure your kilt fits perfectly, offering expert advice to enhance your look. Kilts should sit at the top of the kneecap with a secure waist. If your kilt is too long, too loose, or too tight, or if the buckle needs adjusting, we provide precise alterations for a flawless fit.
Trust our skilled team to make your kilt look sharp and fit comfortably, ensuring you stand out with style and confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kilt Alterations
Here are some of the most common questions we receive about Kilt Alterations:
At your appointment, you will choose your collection date using our in-house system. We also offer same-day or next-day services if required. You will receive an automated text or email with your order number and fitting date. Once your item is ready for a fitting, our system will automatically notify you via text or email. Alternatively, you can track your order anytime using our online status checker. If your order is completed ahead of schedule, you’ll have the option to collect it sooner.
Yes, a kilt can usually be altered if it’s too small or too large. If it’s too small, we can sometimes let it out if there’s enough fabric. If it’s too large, we can take it in to achieve a better fit, especially around the waist and hips.
Common kilt alterations typically involve adjusting the waist size, whether taking it in or letting it out, to ensure a comfortable fit around the hips and waist. The kilt’s length can also be altered, either shortened or lengthened, to suit the wearer’s preference or the occasion. Adjusting the pleats is another crucial alteration, helping to achieve a more flattering and proportional look. Additionally, the kilt straps and buckles may need replacing or adjusting to ensure they secure the kilt properly. For wear and tear, repairing or reinforcing the fabric can restore the kilt’s durability, while alterations to the waistband or rise can help achieve a more tailored and polished fit.
You do not need to arrive at a specific time to collect your Kilt.
