Forbes Dress Modern Kilt

Forbes Dress Modern Kilt

Heavy Weight Kilt

£599

Handmade kilts lovingly crafted by experienced kiltmakers here in Scotland.

The name Forbes originates from Aberdeenshire. The tartan is said to have been designed by a Miss Forbes in 1822 for the Forbes family of Pitsligo. However, earlier records disagree as the design can be seen in a 1819 Pattern Book of Wilson of Bannockburn.

These kilts are made from 8 yards of mediumweight 13oz wool. They have a wide swing to the pleats with complimentary flashes made from the same weave of fabric. Fastened with three buckles out kilts are finished with a knife-edge and pleated to the seat.

The kilt has now become the accepted alternative dress wear for formal occasions rather than a practical garment. It is most commonly worn at weddings and formal functions, and is acceptable on occasions where one would wear a dinner suit or tuxedo.
