Kilt Hire Glasgow

Kilt

The kilt is the centrepiece of a highlandwear outfit. With kilt hire from MacGregor and MacDuff, customers can choose from 16 different hire tartans that have been carefully selected by the team. The kilt is professionally fitted by our expert stylists to ensure it sits comfortably and looks its best. 

Kilt Jacket

A kilt jacket can completely change a highlandwear outfit. Depending on whether you are attending a formal wedding/event, customers may opt for a Prince Charlie jacket, however, those attending a casual wedding/event might select a tweed jacket for a more contemporary option. Our jackets provide a smart and traditional finish to your full kilt outfit, creating a polished and coordinated look.

Waistcoat

Worn underneath the kilt jacket, the waistcoat adds an extra layer of sophistication to your kilt outfit. It allows you to keep a formal appearance, even in hotter weather where you may take off your kilt jacket.

Ghillie Brogues

Ghillie brogues are traditional Scottish shoes, often recognised for their distinctive long laces, they are worn with kilt hose to complete a traditional highlandwear outfit.

What does kilt hire include?

Shirt 

A formal shirt is the cornerstone of your highlandwear outfit, it simply creates a smart, traditional look, whilst acting as a base for your highlandwear accessories.

Tie

The ruche tie is a distinctive finishing touch to a traditional kilt outfit. Worn with a formal shirt, the knot is shown above the waistcoat. A ruche tie can provide character to your look, whether you want to coordinate with your tartan and create a cohesive look, or add in a pop of colour to show off your unique personality and style. You can also choose to wear a tartan or tweed tie, depending on how contemporary you want your highlandwear look to be.

Kilt Pin

A kilt pin is a traditional accessory worn on the front of the kilt. Whilst it adds a nice detail to the full outfit, it also adds weight to your kilt to keep it from blowing open. 

Where can i hire a kilt?

Sporran

A sporran is an essential part of a complete kilt outfit and is worn at the front of the kilt. As MacGregor and MacDuff’s kilts do not have pockets, the sporran provides a practical place to keep small personal belongings, whilst also adding an important finishing touch to the outfit. 

Kilt Hose

Kilt hose are traditional knee-high socks worn as part of a complete kilt outfit. They provide the base for your flashes and are designed to be worn with ghillie brogues (kilt shoes).

Flashes

Flashes are worn around the top of the kilt hose, just below the knee. They add a subtle touch of colour, tying the lower half of the highlandwear outfit together. As well as style, flashes are also a practical accessory as they secure kilt hose in place. 

Sgian Dubh

A sgian dubh is a traditional Scottish accessory worn in the top of the kilt hose, with the handle visible above the sock. The sgian dubhs included in kilt hire packages are replicas and do not feature a stainless steel blade; therefore, customers do not have to worry about any venue or travel restrictions.
