J. Higgins Value Kilt Wool Tartans (5 yards) Waist/Hips 38-47" (Custom)

Our J.Higgins Value Kilt is perfect for our value minded customers and made by our own kilt makers here in Kansas City since 1983. The value kilt is made with less yardage than our traditional kilts and have fewer and wider pleats as well. Every value kilt is made with authentic tartans using a poly/viscous material with 3 buckles/straps and 2 belt loops for your belt. We fringe the front apron as well. We do not put lining in the Value kilt. We do put hems in these when we feel the mill selvedge is too wavy. Matching flashes are also available here: https://www.jhiggins.net/flashes/

This is a custom garment that cannot be returned. Because we make these value kilts to order, please know that delivery is approximately 8 to 10 weeks. This is a general estimate.  

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:

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.
