We offer three sorts of shirts to combine with your kilt: 

- The ghillie shirt is a customary, baggy shirt. There's no requirement for a tie: the cowhide ribbon can be affixed in a straightforward bunch or left to hang down the front of your shirt. 

- Standard wing neckline shirts are generally joined with neckties for a conventional kilt outfit. Nonetheless, they can likewise be styled down with a straight neck tie for a daytime or outside occasion. 

- Victorian neckline shirts are the most convenient alternative and are typically matched with a tie or a ruched tie or cravat. 

Regardless of which shirt you pick, it ought to be conveniently gotten into your kilt.

JACKET & VEST

Regardless of whether you pick a relaxed three or five catch waistcoat or choose to go full formal with a Prince Charlie coat and vest combo, your determination ought to consistently supplement the tones in your kilt. 

The coat is regularly kept open to flaunt the petticoat's cleaned catches. 

Not certain what coat you need? There's an aide for that as well!

THE ACCESSORIES 

BELT & BUCKLE:

Kilt belts and Kilts Buckle commonly run more extensive than typical belts and are possibly required while picking not to wear a petticoat. 

Kilt belts are worn through the kilt circles at the back and secured on the front, over the sporran.

Our sporran guide will help you sort out whether you're searching for a full dress, semi dress, or day sporran. 

The chain lash ought to be brought through the kilt circles at the back so the sporran can be worn at the front. 

FLY PLAID and BROOCH:

The fly plaid is an incredible method to add an additional degree of custom to your kilt (and to truly make you stand apart from the group). 

Your fly plaid will regularly coordinate with your kilt's plaid and is worn over your left shoulder. You secure the fly plaid to your coat utilizing a plaid brooch. 

KILT PIN:

The kilt pin is both enlivening and useful. It adds a unique touch to your kilt outfit, yet additionally helps the front of your kilt from blowing open (particularly significant in case you're picking to go au naturel). 

Your kilt pin shouldn't be utilized to keep your kilt shut, nonetheless, as doing as such may harm the kilt and adjust the manner in which it hangs. All things considered, fix your pin to the top layer of fabric on your right-hand side. 

FLASHES:
