utkilts.com/pages/size-chart
You always want to be sure to measure yourself before ordering a kilt. As we show in this video, pants are always labeled around 2-4 inches smaller than what they actually measure. Any place that does not require you to measure or does not give you detailed instructions on how to measure is probably a place you do not want to order from. At UTKilts we have a detailed size chart page with a great video that will help you measure so you get the perfect fit on your next kilt.

Utility Kilt Side Buckles and Straps - What are they for? - UT Kilts

So, what are the side buckles really for? They really are there just to tighten up the hip / butt area for those that need it. Do not get these confused with traditional kilt straps and buckles. Those will adjust the fit of the kilt on the waist. For a utility style kilt with straps, they typically just adjust the hip area with snaps on the waist band to adjust for fitment in the waist.

Thinking the grey one would be good for chasing elk with the longbow when it's hot!
That sounds awesome! Would love to see a picture of that.
I'm new to Kilting and I've purchased two beautifully constructed Kilts from USA Kilts and am totally sold on the company and team they've put together there. In fact, I feel that USA Kilts is "Above Top Shelf" in all areas of their business and their quality, knowledge, and customer service is second to none. However, to be fair I haven't made any purchases from your company but may in the future after I've checked you and your company out.
Well I appreciate you giving us a look. Enjoy your kilts!
Any recommendations for wearing a holster with this?
Reach out to me directly at brice@utkilts.com and we can discuss.
This is obviously over a year old, but I was wondering... did you hold your Tartan Ball in 2024? Are you planning to do it in 2025? I've never been to Utah, and this might be an excuse for me to travel there! 😁
No we cancelled this past year. We just could not get the attendance needed to keep it going. Considering next year, but not 100% sure yet.
The reason I don't own a utility kilt. The standard length at 24 inched is too long .
Yeah, that usually is for a utility kilt. Which is why none of those utility kilts are 24 inches (atleast mine are not). Plus we offer a custom order option that allows you to get whatever length you need. Reach out to me directly and I am happy to help. brice@utkilts.com
Instructions unclear. My head got stuck in the sleeve.
To be honest if that was a bit of a joke or something I missed it. But if you are confused, let me know which part and I can help out. Reach out to me directly at brice@utkilts.com
It’s like watching the Rose Anvil on kilts 😅
Never thought of it that way... 😁
@@utkiltsbrice well it is meant as a top tier compliment. Sometimes he gets so upset that a terribly made shoe is being marketed as a dependable piece of workwear or hiding behind a known name brand that he just rips it apart manually.
@@MemphisCorollaS Yeah, I looked it up. Honestly did not know what it was until I searched it out.
@@utkiltsbrice you’re welcome. There’s a lot of overlap between people who appreciate well made heritage clothing and heritage footwear. There’s so much that can be modernized while keeping the history and good quality as the main things. Thanks for the great videos. I’ll definitely have y’all first in mind when I’m ready to get into utility kilts for hiking or bushcraft.
@@MemphisCorollaS Thank you! I appreciate that.
A very honest and helpful opinion the difference is negotiable ,,I think a person's budget will dictate the kilt ,,either one I'd be proud to wear
Thank you for sharing your video.very informative. My dad was a McGee so I will be checking places you suggested. I think this name is connected to one of the larger clans. Now, my daughter married a Urquhart which I believe is one of the larger clans. From my research I think there is a little Irish in the family too. Thanks again.😊
You are very welcome!
Thanks for the video. I'll be ordering 3 tonight for a trip to Scotland this summer.
Thank you! My wife and I just visted for a week back at the end of January. We absolutely loved it! The most wonderful place and people.
This morning my pants told me that I've gained too much weight recently. That was most definitely not a lie. 😂
LOL! Well, lets just ignore what they say then. ..
Another great video Brice. Thanks for keeping the education going. And for those that haven't worked with UT Kilts in the past, Brice really means it when he says he will work with you on sizing. I wouldn't have had the correct size on my utility or "regular" kilts without his help!
Thank you!
GREAT tips here!! I can tell you, I recently ordered a pair of jodhpur riding pants and put in my regular standard pants size in the order that I normally look for when pants shopping in a store or buying on line..... Nope... No where NEAR the correct measurements... Luckily the merchant was understanding and took them back, made a new pair to my correct size and only charged me materials & shipping. Whenever you order anything custom made, invest in a tailor's tape and get ACCURATE measurements that are required to get the garment to fit right and look good on you.
So true! Pants are tough because most places won't have you measure. But every pant manufacturer does their own thing on sizing... Why I love kilts I guess.
For myself the waistband on pants isn't the issue it's that I have big thighs and many pants just don't have enough space in them. This makes kilts a lot more comfortable for me.
Yep, kilts would definitely be more comfortable.
Thanks for the info but if you have the Stewart on your tree how do I find which one to pick ? and yes Queen Margaret (Queen of Scots) Tudor and King James Stewart IV are my 13th removed grandparents along with many others in this branch
Do people usually wear a kilt pin with a plain utility kilt? Is that "proper"?
The colour/pattern doesn't affect the purpose of the pin to keep the apron in check. I wear a UTKilts logo pin on my black utility kilts. Adds a little bling to an otherwise plain shade. Gotten more compliments while pinned to the black than the tartan version.
My husband and I both have Scottish ancestory. I'm Ferguson, he is Bruce. I thought Ferguson was Scandinavian, there's a few ways it's spelled. They may have settled in Wales first. My husband Erik has no idea about his family tree. I'm trying to find out if he has any living relatives. He may have a 3rd cousin in Bakersfield, CA. I'd like to buy a kilt of my clan, even though women do not wear kilts. I do have a Black Watch kilt which I adore. Unfortunately my husband fell victim to cancer and passed away but I'd still like to pursue his family tree and buy a kilt in his memory.
Sure! Reach out to me directly at brice@utkilts.com and I would be happy to help you out.
haha. Here's how to copy our kilts... wait... no, I mean, here's why our kilts are superior to the knockoffs. Buy our kilts. Don't try to make your own. dammit. I didn't want to copy your kilts and sell them or anything. I was genuinely looking for info on how utkilts are made so that I could incorporate that knowledge into my own bespoke kilts I'm making FOR MYSELF. Oh well. I was misled. Nice kilts.
I did not meant to mislead you. I have acctually thought about taking this video down as i did it many years ago, and most coming to the video are like you, trying to make their own. Sorry again for any problems I caused.
Belt does not go through the loops the loops are for the chain the buckle of the purse you wear in front it's to stop the purse falling down
It is acctually for both. The purse you are referring to is the sporran, and the belt loops are made over 3 inches wide to accomdate: 2.25" belt and the .5 inch chain belt from the sporran. They would not make those loops that big to fit only the sporran.
Thanks for speak clear.
You are welcome.
Yeah, you are not going to get a 8 yard wool kilt for $150.00 American.
Quick clarification. You are not going to get a worsted wool, woven and made in Scotland wool kilt, 8 yards, for $150. However, it is possible to find woolen wool kilts that we sell for that price. Though the wool is much different.
Hey brother, I have been watching your TH-cam channel and I'm going to be getting a utility kilt or 3 from you... What's the difference between the ultimate, and the athlete? I want the slash pockets but not all the other ones hanging all over the place. Thanks for your help! Love your videos!
Sure! check out this link: utkilts.com/pages/comparison-page?_pos=1&_psq=compari&_ss=e&_v=1.0
I think I'm doing the belt right but not totally sure. It doesn't cinch down without slipping... Is there a tutorial?
Send me a message directly at brice@utkilts.com and we can make sure you have it right.
Great video. But hate the premium wool kilt. Horrible quality. I bought two and gave away. Maybe it was the type of wool. Not sure. Made in Scotland is the way to go. I have had no issue with another company. Considering trying UT Kilts again but, just not sure.
They use tartan woven in Pakistan, it’s never going to be as good as tartan woven in Scotland.
I bought the Argyll package from UT Kilts this last week. I think it looks and fits fantastic!! Thanks to Brice, I will be going to a Robert Burns dinner in Utah and feel like I will fit in.
Thank you so much! I am sure it will be a burns night to remember!
The larger bore is definitely a deeper tone. Good job.
Thank you! See that is something that as a novice musician, I would not notice. But they are both fun to play for sure!
I just got my UT Kilt yesterday. There are only a couple of things that I fell in love with instantly; one is my wife, then pepperoni pizza, then my Harley. I can now add the UT Kilt (black Wilderness). It feels wonderful! So, today I went and ordered the MacKay kilt pin and the belt you advertise in this video. If the pin, belt, and buckle are of really good quality as the kilt, I am now a fan of UT Kilts.
Awesome! I am so glad you like it. Be sure to send some pictures!
I have purchased three of their kilts and I love them.
Thank you!!
The simplest solution is often the best 👍. Thanks for sharing...
You are welcome! Not only the simplest, but in some cases the cheapes! :)
This is a very good and honest comparison. Unsurprisingly, the Scottish-made kilt is a nicer kilt. For the price difference, I expect it to be. However, if you wear kilts a lot (as I do), it's not practical for most of us to put a lot of "miles" on a kilt that expensive. TBH, it would take an expert eye to notice the differences when they're both being worn. I'm glad there is a range of kilts available to fit various styles and budgets. When I first started wearing kilts, there were no budget-friendly options available, so I only broke out my (one) kilt on very special occasions.
I completely agree! I am in the same situation. Wearing a kilt everyday, I need something that is inexpensive but will last.
Can you do a demonstration of the 4 yard kilts?
Sure! I can make a video of that one. I will try and get one done this week or next.
A Great Highland Penny Whistle, quite a mellow sound.
yes, very similar to a penny whistle!
Thank you for this. Might have messed up on the jacket, as I only got the chest, but am looking forwards to the Texas Bluebonnet tartan. Very pleased with the Gordan kilt: it rests about an inch or so below the knee, and found that I like that. All prior were an inch or two above the knee. Thank you again for this guide.
You are welcome!
Hey Brice, I'm really intrested in getting one of your Premium kilts but had a question on the material. What exactly is "woolen wool", is it 100% virgin wool or is it a blend or recycled wool?
Woolen wool is not a blend. It is just a less expensive wool that can be used.
I'm looking forward to buying a couple of these kilts when I can.
Thank you! Let me know if I can help with anything in the mean time.
@@utkiltsbrice I'm wanting to get one in an olive green for regular use and one in a dark charcoal with a mixed gray tartan for the front panel as a more formal dress. I tend to wear a size 34 to 36 in shorts but my waist seems to measure more a 38 it seems, but I'd like to have both have two or three sizes going downwards.
@@brucelucas1756 Sure, reach out to me directly and we can discuss sizing. brice@utkilts.com We can discuss more in depth through email, but we don't have kilts that can adjust 3 sizes down. I can help with getting you a size that will work correctly thought.
Excellent comparison. If only there more selection in your premium. I'm definitely looking forward to receiving the kilt I ordered from you.
Thanks! Yes, I do wish we had more. Slowly we are adding more tartans, but definetly not the selection that some of the larger mills in Scotland have.
I have one black utility kilt that is _really_ cheap... and it looks it (to me). I've worn it at a couple of events (St. Patrick's day, Robert Burns Night), but know I have to do something better. I won't be wearing a kilt more than a couple of times a year, but when I do, I'd like to wear it "properly" and paying respect to the tradition (it's not just some silly "costume"). I've been thinking that one of your PV kilts might be enough for me, but now I'm leaning towards going the Premium Wool route as it's not that much more expensive (only about $55 more for the Premium Wool over the PV). Probably in Black Watch or Black Watch Weathered, as I have no real clan affiliation. I'm mostly concerned with the sizing. I am on the shorter side, and still can't really tell where to measure the hip and length. I know it's *not* pants size, and I think the "waist" measurement is basically at the belly button...? Length would be measured from there to the top of the knee...?
Yep, measurement of length is done from your waist down to the middle or top of the knee, just wherever you prefer it to end. reach out to me directly at brice@utkilts.com and I am happy to help.
UT kilts is amazing. love them
This is the WRONG way to put a sporran on! The first time to put a sporran on yes, so that you can get the right size hole in the belt. Once that is done. You only need to un-clip one of the clips at the back of the sporran to take it off. And now you never need to mess with the the belt again. Just loop it through the kilt at the back and clip it onto the sporran.
Thanks for that! I do disagree as I always put my sporran on that way. Especially since many prefer to purchase our deluxe sporran chains that don't use the clips.
@@utkiltsbrice I’m 59 and been wearing a kilt since a child has we all do in the highlands. Only ever seen these sporrans hangers with utility kilts sometimes. Guessing it’s something new?? Not really used in Scotland unless you are a large person. Every I know and have seen puts on their sporrans with the chain clip. I haven’t seen a sporran without a chain unless it’s a utility.
@@sunseeker8457 Interesting! The really nice chains I get from Scotland typically don't have those clips. I actually prefer them as I think they look much, much nicer. The other issue is I have multiple kilts, from 4 yards up to 8 yards. My 8 yards use a different setting than my 4 yards to I end up adjusting them anyways. utkilts.com/products/deluxe-sporran-chain-strap?_pos=1&_psq=chain&_ss=e&_v=1.0
Been looking for something like this. Thank you so much for putting this out!
You are so welcome.
To much silver bling, it cheapens the garment 😮
Thanks for your feedback!
If Pakistani kilts were available in the 13th Century , William Wallace being Pakistani, a Muslim and a minor noble short of cash , he would have bought both the Spirit of Pakistan and the Islam pattern premium especially if they are custom order in stock ready to ship .
Good comparison, thank you. To me the bottom line is when I am met, can the other person tell any difference? I don’t think so. On the swing test, did you have them cleaned and presses before the test? Most fabrics have fillers in them so they can be sewn much easier (my wife is an excellent seamstress and can go on for hours about fabric) and a cleaning removes the fillers so the swing is different (at least on my four kilts it is so). I have a US Army tartan kilt that had do much filler in it that it was stiff and had very little swing until it was cleaned and pressed.
Actually, neither of those were cleaned or pressed ahead of time. They are both almost brand new.
I just ordered a tartan utility kilt from you. The ultimate. Is there any way you can make a TH-cam video showing off the ultimate tartan kilts? I want to sell some to my friends and having a detailed review from you, because you'll explain the pleats and seams, will be insanely helpful! I am waiting for the Highlander Gray ultimate to ship. I'm so excited I ordered it next day air lol
I have several kilts. My first was bought at my local highland games. The second was a cheap tartan utility kilt from Scottish designer on Amazon, and it's a little tight, but I love wearing them both. I just wish my first black kilt was a UT kilt. The apron is too narrow. It's still comfortable for mowing in and such but I would be happier if it was made properly... If everything goes well with my UT kilt I'm going to buy many more from you! I'm a bigger guy, and you won over damn near kilt em because they don't make a kilt for us bigger guys. I needed a 48-50 and damn near kilt em stops at 46-48. I can't even fasten the snaps if I lay down and suck it in. I'll need more kilts soon. I've been losing weight for the last 12 months and I'm down quite a bit. I'm just getting into kilts because I can finally try them out, so thank you for making cool stuff like this in larger sizes! This is such a reward to finally be able to wear the kilt, and the more I lose the better I'm going to look in it.
You bet! That is on my list of videos to do for sure.
Why is it that I wear 36” trousers/shorts but when I measure around my waist with a tape measure, it’s like 40”?? Lol
Isn't that fun? What you just found out is that ALL pants and jeans manufacturers use what we call vanity sizing. They label their pants 3-4 inches smaller than what they measure. A big misconception among men is that their pants size equals their waist size and it does not. The number in our pants is just a number. They could have put 346 instead of 36 for sizing and it would mean the same. But that is definetly normal for everyone! I wear a 32 when i am stuck wearing pants and my waist is a 35.
I have four of UT's kilts... Two in the Premium line and two in the Standard as well as multiple accessories... I COULDN'T be happier with the product or Bryce's customer service.

I super wish I had something like this near me 😢
Mine is from loch carron. Ancient Buchan in my family colours. It was constructed by Paula Duncan local kilt maker here in the north of Scotland. My kilt is made by hand because it had to be, inside the kilt on the lining are the badges of all my family members regiments during the first and second world wars along with their names and ranks
Very nice kilt! Lochcarron does great work for sure!
