Alterations: Ensure your kilt fits perfectly and looks its best with our comprehensive kilt alteration services, offering waist adjustments, length alterations, buckle adjustments, and more, all tailored to your specific needs.
We can adjust the waist size to ensure a comfortable and secure fit, whether you need to take it in or let it out.
We can meticulously adjust the pleats to maintain the kilt's characteristic swing and movement.
We offer buckle and strap replacement/adjustment to ensure your kilt functions flawlessly.
We can resize the aprons to fit your new shape and therefore allowing you to gain or lose a good amount, depending on how it has originally been made.
In some cases, we can offer full kilt remakes to ensure you get the most out of your kilt.
Restorations: If your kilt needs a little TLC, we offer kilt restoration services, including alterations, repairs, and cleaning to help preserve your treasured garment and ensure it continues to look its best.
We can adjust your kilt's waist size, shorten or lengthen it, or move the buckles to ensure a perfect fit.
We can restore the shape of your kilt's pleats, ensuring they look sharp and well-defined.
We can replace old and worn canvases and linings, and reinforce the vent and replace straps, chapes and belt/sporran loops.
We can assess any moth damage or tears and do minor repairs. For more major repair work, we may need to purchase more tartan (if available), or interchange the aprons.
We can advise you on how to protect your kilt from moths and other pests.
Our kiltmaker can offer guidance on proper kilt care and maintenance.
