Super Finish
This kilt is all traditionally hand cut and made. The kilt maker spends a lot more time preparing the cloth, chalking and marking the tartan before cutting out the kilt to an exact template. Like any craftsperson the better prepreation and time taken, the better the job. 95% of all our 8 yard kilt sales are in this super finish. This kilt has 3 buckles and straps, canvas and lining, 2 belt loops, and approximatly 23 good knife pleats.
At the back of the top of the kilt pleats there is hardly any stiching to be seen. This kilt takes longer to make due to the pleats being stitched from inside. Some parts of the kilt, like buckles and straps, are machine stitched for added strength. These kilt makers are much older with over 25 years experience in the art of kilt making. This is our Rolls Royce or Savile Row of kilts.
Note - It generally takes an extra 4 to 5 hours to make a super finish kilt and are generally maintanance free.
Delivery time is 4 to 8 weeks

Standard Finish
These kilts are all traditionaly hand cut and made. They do not have as much prepreation time spent on the layout. On the back of the kilt you may see some stitching at the top of the pleats, this gives the kilt an authentic look.
With a standard finish kilt there is always running maintainance
through the the life of the kilt, like odd burst stitches which can be easily repaired.
We are finding less and less cutomers going for this finish. This finish is £60 less (£51 tax free) than a super finish kilt.
Delivery time is 8 to 10 weeks |

Basic Finish
We have introduced this basic kilt due to the success of our casual machine made kilts and also the high exchange rate with the pound sterling for our overseas customers.
These basic kilts are all hand cut but fully machine made, resulting in a quicker production. On the back of the kilt at the top of the pleats you see a small line of machine stitching. This is a good value kilt, but not quite The Real McCoy.
This finish is £90 less (or £77 less tax free) than a super finish kilt.
Delivery time is 3 to 4 weeks
Express service of 1 to 2 weeks is £40 extra
