- How to fold a traditional Great Kilt.
Step by Step information on how to fold a kilt the traditional way, with some variations.
Filmed on location at Sport Kilt, the best place to buy a Great Kilt!
Thanks to Christiane Cargill Kinney for the music made specially for the video and produced by Christiane & Seán Kinney. It is a medley of some of our favorite traditional bagpipe & penny whistle music from the 1600s to 1800s.
The song order is: Balmoral Castle, The Muckin' O' Geordie's Byre, The Kilt is My Delight, Cutty's Wedding, and Cion A' Bhuntàta.

This is the 4th video in 5 minuits I watch about how to wear a Plaid. And yes. It looks like Scots are so badass they don´t even need to stand up to get into their Kilt. Also the Plaid is probably the most impressiv pice of clothing I´ve ever seen. "What a nice looking cloth. And now it´s a manskirt. And now a Backpack. And now a cloke. And now a Tent. And when it´s expecialy windy on the Highlands i´m preaty sure the old Scots went flying with that thing..." Now i want one too... looks comfy...
Thanks. The particular one in this video is my family's, I appreciate the compliment. They are indeed comfortable. Share a picture when you get one. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I just put mine on for the first time! It was great watching you again afterward to see where I screwed up. Thanks!
Your Welcome. Thanks for watching! Enjoy all the greatness of the Great Kilt. #KiltOn!
I'm from Brazil. When I will goto to your country, I go to buy and to use one. Fantastic.
Awesome. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
As a scotsman myself I love how people from other cultures wear our national dress!!
Me too. Thanks for commenting GOD. I always suspected the holiest was a Scot, as a kilt is truly divine!
Seriously, emulating the good in the world- be it a Kilt or your donation to surgeons around the world- IS the sincerest form of flattery, this a compliment to your culture that others would borrow from it
Kilts [or, Cilts] have been worn all over the world long BEFORE Scotland, the tartan is also OLDER than Scotland, also patterns like ARAN is Spanish/Portuguese..
first known kilts: 12,000 years before Scotland... but don'y take my word for it... RESEARCH IT!
My opinion: LEARN YOUR HISTORY!
@@pluckyew297 Link evidence?
Too bad the " skirt " isnt Scottish...you guys basically wore a toga ... the skirt which is what the modern kilt is ...was not worn by Scots till about the 18th century . The Galician wore it in 400 ad .... rhe tartan authority had admitted as much ...so...😏
Amazing what you can do with a sheet of fabric. So much of traditional clothing the world over consists of different ways of wearing sheets of material in all sorts of sizes and configurations.
The look of a ghaeil king on ye' , a chara .... is cuma Rí aici . Well done .
Thanks Paul, and thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
fantastic, everything is right on, Oh! I like to watch this just in case it helps me to remember, thanks, cheers., William G
Thanks for saying that. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
i am truly amazed. I've never known about this. I just thought some Scottish granny hand-sewed all the pleats. Fabulous, fabulous video. Thank you so much. And the music was lovely; energizing without enervating.
Thanks for watching! The music was a fun collaboration with my wife, the Celtic composer / musician Christiane Cargill Kinney; thanks for mentioning it. Check her out here christianekinney.com/ #KiltOn!
Never realized how versatile a kilt is.
I was taught many other folds, it still amazes me too. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Duuuuuuude! The ending of the video with the "great shirt" portion! Hell yeah! I'm getting ready to pleat my great kilt for a National Tartan Day video now and this has been extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for saying that. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I love watching all those changes that's pretty cool
It was cool to learn about all the different varieties while I researching the video. Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
That's really great! A *great* kilt!
Thanks, and thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
You know, the more I watch Scottish videos about kilts, culture, etc the more I want to visit!
Thanks for watching "Blue Eyed Girl" #KIltOn!
Love it. I wish I was born in Scotland. Love Your story, Your tradition and Your whisky.
My Best regards from Argentina
Thanks for watching. Thanks for the nice comments. You are always welcome to wear my family's' tartan; Clan Kinney. You can order one from Sport Kilt, it is called the Scots-Irish kilt, the one you see on the video. We get nothing if you order, just the knowledge that you are enjoying a kilt. # KiltOn!
Making a custom nutcracker of an Outlander character for my bud, and watching hours of the TV show and couldn't figure out what the devil was going on with the kilt. Thank you for your time and video! It all makes sense now :D
Thanks for saying that. I appreciate you watching. #KiltOn!
Mine is fabulas, bought mine some 7 years ago and am in need of a great kilt soon.
that's so cool. I don't know anything about kilts and got here from my recommended feed, but it's mindblowing how many possibilities and variations you get with a single piece of fabric. more useful than i'd ever have thought.
That's a lot of material.
Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
Amazing...thanks Sean!!!!!!
Thankyou! This brought me closer to my Keane family. I want that full Kilt.
Awesome. Thanks for saying that, made my day. #KiltOn!
Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Come back to watch this year after year!
Thanks for saying that. Thanks for watching! #KiltOn
I'm not Scottish or Irish but I love this culture and I'm exactly want to be a part of this culture
too bad fuck off back home
Anyone can wear a kilt. Join us brother. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
This culture was associated with crofting in the Highlands when people worked and lived on the land and needed a Blanket to sleep, carry things and shelter from the elements. It has nothing to do with Ireland.
Awesome info .
Thanks, and thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
I can verify the pockets will hold a six pack of beer each side. I did that once camping when I was wondering around one night from campsite to campsite. Started six full in one side put the empties in the other side as I finished them. Then headed back to get a new six and put bug spray on my legs.
🏴 Great informative video 🇺🇸
Thanks, and thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
This is FASCINATING! Do more, please! I never knew kilts were merely cleverly folded pieces of fabric - I always thought they were sewn - nor did I have a clue how versatile they are.
Thanks! They started out as folded fabric, and now the modern ones are now sewn down for convenience. With the pleats sewn in, you do loose the versatility. We have a tartan scarf video in the works. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Hortondlfn1 They are Sewn.
Wow they are more complicated then i thought, and also more simple then i thought.
I hope we always will see this clothes. :)
Well said. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I want to make one for my boyfriend thankyou very much for the video and ur time 💌
Thanks for saying that! #KiltOn
I think the fabric I used is about 2meters X 7meters (7'x21'). This is a rough estimate. Just make sure it is double wide; and that can range anywhere from 60" to 80" in a fabric store. The length can be any preference you wish. I don't mind the folding, so I go from 5 to 7 meters for the legnth.You can go a lot shorter. I have made a folded kilt from as small as 6 feet of fabric(with not many folds on back). I hope this helps! Kilt On!
+Dan McNeill Depending on the floor or surface you fold the pleats on, I found it will sometimes snag on the belt if you lay it first. I have friends that do that, but it just goes back to what I said on the video, it is all a personal preference. I have a belt that has a hook clasp, and I am guaranteed to have it snag on a pleat or two. Experiment & let us know what works for you! Thanks for asking! Kilt On.
Очень познавательно! Всегда думал, что килт - это просто мужская юбка, но ваше видео приятно удивило и открыло глаза на правду =) Но есть пара вопросов касательно исторического применения:
1. В рукопашном бою на мечах эта одежда не сковывала движения?
2. Получается что противнику очень легко ухватиться за килт и притянуть носителя под удар своего оружия?
"В рукопашном бою на мечах"
Понятие "рукопашный бой" в русском языке имеет значение не только драки на кулаках, но и вообще ближнего контактного боя, а там не важно что используется - хоть огнестрельное оружие.
Sometimes it will slightly shift when folding it, so the center might not match up on the back end of the process. Outdoors is especially hard to keep it straight. Thanks for asking.
Very good ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you very much & thank for watching. #KiltOn!
I love kilts! very nice!😃
Thank you! Cheers! #KiltOn!
Very informing and clever!
Thanks and thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
Amazing! I will buy a light fabric and start using this kilt at home here in Brazil. Probably it will be my next carnival fantasy too! Nobody with have the same!!!
6:48 I am definitely going all in for this. Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
You're so welcome! #KiltOn!

Nice presentation Sean. Very descriptive on pleat styles. And the variations for weather.
Already falling in love with kilt😍
Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I'm a young lad and don't have much money, so I just used a cheap wool blanket. It works really well
Absolutely. That is how it all started. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I just got my kilt from this company. Solid construction, very comfortable, very financially priced. They can take my money anytime.
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! @SportKilt is the best! #KiltOn! #SportKilt
Great video, thanks!
Thanks & thanks for watching! #KiltOn!

Wow! I need one of these! So much versatility and would also be awesome in cold weather. I love kilts and wear one every day.
Yeah I also wear kilts on daily basis. I first bought my kilt from kilt this. Thet was awesome. I then find this website on another directory named kiltguide.com/listing/kilt-this.html
That was great! You are a good teacher. Thanks
Thanks!
love it.. i wana try it someday🥰🥰🥰🥰
Please do! Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
cool. had kilts from tailors when I was a kid. This is better. thanks
Thanks for Watching! #KiltOn!
You bet! Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I love the diversity of a great kilt! Thanks for sharing
This is the best tutorial I've seen! I plan on doing this with my HFA son's school colors and wear Brave heart make-up for his homecoming football game...thank you so much!
THanks!!! Throw us a picture when you can!
You have soooo many Kilts....
And you even have them in my Clan’s Tartan! I had to look everywhere for that, and ended up custom-ordering!
Great vid!
Thanks & thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
this was great. I know it isn't much but I just needed to say that
Thanks, that does make me smile! Much Appreciated. Thanks for watching. #KiltON!
OMG I can't get over the fact that this is the same way a saree is worn (done up) except the pleats go in the front and the last apron is longer and wraps around and over the shoulder. Standing they start with one wrap around the body then finger pleat the remainder (with their hand) in the front then tuck the top of the pleats into the the first wrap and swing the long apron over their shoulder. Of course they use a very light, light fabric, compared to the kilt, and the overall length is 5-9 yds. Thanks for this info and demonstration.
Thanks for sharing Sheila. Yep, it is similar to many other traditional wrapped garments from all around the world. At a certain point in history when the looms were common, many cultures found similar ways to wrap cloth around a body. That is why I always say that anyone can wear a kilt, they are more universal than most think. Thanks for watching! # KiltOn!
I have purchased my grand kilt, Irish Revenge tartan. I am learning to pleat it and wear it. I found your video great for showing what I need tolearn to m2kq th3 pockets but your hands move so fdast I can not duplicate it even after many reviews.
TO FOLD A POCKET:
1. Grab the front inner corner of the top layer. Run your finger back along the edge, about 18 inches (45cm).
2. Fold the two points together. It will make a “V” of fabric. You can see this clear on my first pocket fold. At 04:35 of the video.
3. Take both points and tucks them into your belt at the back. Push them into very well between your back and the tartan. This will form a long pocket running down your side.
- Basically you are just pinching the front edge, and part from the middle edge and pushing them into your belt. The “V” fold is the pocket. To make a smaller pocket, just go back around the bottom edge less.
I hope this helps.

Awesome video. I want to buy my first kilt.
Thanks & thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
awersome!
Thanks, and thanks for watching. #KiltOn!

That was awesome Sean. I really want one now 👍 The Great Kilt is overdue for a "great" comeback!!
Thanks! Call @SportKilt and tell them you saw the video. The'll hook you up.
Thank you for this vid! I tried few other vids for how to fold my kilt, but this is the best I have found!
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
J’adore les kilts. Lorsque que j’étais adolescente j’en avais deux. Un à dominante rouge et un autre à dominante verte. ❤️❤️
Awesome. Time to get a new one! Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
This is a great video! I had no idea it was a versital item
Glad it was helpful! #KiltOn!

Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
very nice :D . thanks for showing.
Thanks & thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
Love it, very versatile, great kilt it is. 👍
Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Wow .... I have not seen a kilt folded before:.. why so much material.... kilts sold on hangers are they less material ? They look like they are less material. Love the kilt.
The average great kilt was 5 to 7 meters. The longer the material, the more types of folds you can do, as demonstrated in the later part of the video. If you only want the bottom skirting, than it is a lot less material. Your perception is correct, the modern kilts have much less material. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Shirt or FABULOUS CAPE!!
Exactly. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
fantastic video very clear and so easy to understand
this video was well done. it has been the mist useful. thank you.
+Mad Witch (The Pissed off Pagan) You're Welcome! Kilt-On!

It sure it. Thanks, it is my family tartan. It is available at Sport Kilt if you like it. #KiltOn!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it. #KiltOn!
I have to say I like the pink and purple tartan.
Amo homem de saia!!! Acho terrivelmente atraente!❤️❤️❤️
Obrigado por assistir. (Usando Google Tradutor) #KiltOn!
This is a very good video. And I'm actually thinking about buying my first great kilt to change it up. I like the different options and varieties of a great kilt. Well done. Slainte mhath!
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
fascinating-ingenious.
Thanks & thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
Complimenti per questo video molto istruttivo, i suoi kilt sono bellissimi
Круто! Никогда не думал, что килт такая универсальная вещь! Спасибо!
пожалуйста!
I’m glad there is an easier way to wear a modern Kilt.
Amazing
Cool video. I'll definitely be referencing when my great kilt arrives. Any idea what the sountrack is in this video?
Thanks for watching. I made the music by putting together a melody of some of our favorite traditional bagpipe & penny whistle music from the 1600s to 1800s. I had Christiane Cargill Kinney, my wife, a super talented musician(check out her her eon TH-cam) play out the tunes into a midi file, and I produced them with appropriate instrumentation and arrangements.
The song order is: Balmoral Castle, The Muckin' O' Geordie's Byre, The Kilt is My Delight, Cutty's Wedding, and Cion A' Bhuntàta. Thanks for asking. #KiltOn!
I LOVE ESCOCIA
... and we love you. #KiltOn!
I lov you 💟💟💟
Me gusta como muestras tú las costumbres de Escocia el uso de la kilt te queda re sexi
Mums here “get up it’s time for school.”
Mums in Scotland: “id better be seeing you laying on that floor getting ready for school.”
Ha!
lol Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Great instructional video!
Wow. I did not know they did not come with sewn in pleats. I am schooled
If I had to do that every morning, I'd probably fall asleep at the part where you lie down like half the time 😄
😂
Wow!! Love it.
Thanks for watching Karina! #KiltOn!
I love learning about different cultures. I was reading a book, and one of the characters are Scottish, and he mentioned a kilt being 18 feet of fabric, and I just had to find out how they get that much fabric on, lol.
(Another character is Welsh, and I was looking up how to pronounce their language, lol)
It is a lot of fabric. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
I’m in awe. Didn’t know any of this. Learned something today. Do professionals wear on daily businesses? Say...a doctor? I’d assume yes in Scotland. Wondering if outside kilt Country.
Thanks for asking. I have many friends that do wear kilts everyday (here in Los Angeles), but mostly the modern versions with pockets, not this Great Kilt. I don't know of any professionals that wear them daily. A lot of my friend and clan celebrate "Freedom Friday" and wear them every Friday. The family back in the homeland normally only wear them to formal occasions, and family gatherings. Most of them wear the modern version to be honest as it is faster and easier; and depending on the material, cheaper. We only wear the Great Kilts when we go to events like the Highland Games, a Celtic festival or a Renaissance Festival.
Thanks for asking, & thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Thanks for a brilliant and inspiring video - I look forward to trying this!
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
I never knew that! Thank you for sharing....
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
Very cool!!!

Wow, been wondering about this for so long and could never figure it out, thanks!
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
Great tutorial!
Love it!
Measure of the fabric?
The fabric I used is about 2meters X 7meters (7'x21'). I hope this helps! Kilt On!
@@seankinney8567 Thank you so mutch, sir!
Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
Great video! You've told me a lot!
Glad it was helpful! #KiltOn!
Wonderful tutorial. Bravo!
Thanks, and Thanks for watching! #KiltOn!
I fold mine in half widthways first usually, eliminates the faffing after you stand up and doubles the fabric trapping the heat in or insulating from heat as needed, Proud Cumbrian so technically not even Scottish and bonus fact,
Kilt comes from Kjalta, an old Norse word meaning folded blanket, which is pretty much what it is.
It sure is; I have even slept in mine. Thanks for watching. #KiltOn!
