Great Kilt – The Iconic Feileadh Mòr of Scottish Highlanders

The Great Kilt, also known as the Feileadh Mòr, is one of the most iconic and traditional pieces of Scottish Highland attire. Worn by Highlanders for centuries, this full-length tartan kilt offers both style and practicality, making it a perfect choice for historical reenactments, Highland games, Renaissance fairs, and traditional Scottish events. At Mr. Kilts, we specialize in custom-made Great Kilts, ensuring an authentic look and the finest craftsmanship.

What is a Great Kilt?

A Great Kilt is a large piece of tartan fabric, typically ranging from 6 to 9 yards, that is pleated and wrapped around the body. Unlike modern kilts, which are pre-stitched, the Great Kilt is manually folded and draped, allowing versatile styling options. The upper portion can be worn as a cloak, draped over the shoulder, or tucked into a belt, making it both functional and stylish.

History of the Great Kilt

The Feileadh Mòr dates back to the 16th century, worn by Scottish warriors, clansmen, and Highlanders. This garment was valued for its versatility, acting as clothing during the day and a blanket at night. Over time, it became a symbol of Scottish identity and resistance, especially during conflicts with the British government.
