Allsafe TradersMen's 5 Yard Scottish Tartan Kilt, Highland Wedding Kilt

I was very satisfied needing this quickly for a Renaissance faire I didn't think I'd get it on time but was pleasantly surprised I received it a day before and it was Awesome; the kilt tartan color was beautiful and held up well at the fairgrounds and definitely keeps you cool on a 93 degree day. My on concern would be long term after I washed it as instructed it seems to be shedding in some places and few stitches seem to be coming in undone, but this could be a feature of the kilt vent.

I am writing this review for the Elliot Modern kilt tartan that is made by All Safe Trading. This is one of several kilt tartans that I've purchased from All Safe Trading, so as you can tell, I love their products. As well, I love that their projected delivery dates are pretty accurate, especially when I have to pay for delivery. They've been really reliable on delivery times.As for their casual kilts: they're bold colored, beautiful, lightweight and yet really elegant! The lightweight, 5 yard acrylic material lets the kilt move and the pleats sway like a formal 8 yard kilt does. The material is not heavy and stiff at all. It moves with you. It feels great on the skin especially if you wear it as tradition calls for...and I'm sure almost all you guys do wear kilts traditionally.Even though many guys wear casual kilts without a belt, hose flashes or even a sporran, I prefer them at all times because that's what makes wearing a kilt a little more special to me. Why not dress up a casual kilt with a nice waist belt and buckle and a beautiful sporran? I'm proud of my Scottish ancestry and surname and I enjoy "educating" people whenever I'm asked about my kilt regalia. However, I keep the best part secret when it's called for. Grandma at the liquor store doesn't have to know everything. Just sayin'.A casual acrylic fabric kilt can look and feel exactly like a heavy wool or even polyester kilt. Dress it up with a waist belt and buckle along with your sporran and nobody has to know your kilt is low cost. People expect that kilts and regalia are expensive (and even casual kilts aren't very cheap) so why not stand out like the champion stallion and let people be dazzled by your greatness?SIZING IS IMPORTANT: with the All Safe Trading kilts: order LARGER than you wear in pants and jeans. I made the mistake of ordering a 32-34 when I should have originally ordered 34-36. (I wear a 34 in pants so I thought to purchase "up to" a 34.) I did return the smaller kilt and purchased a larger one which fits perfectly and comfortably. The kilts have their own belt fasteners built in so you can adjust up and down for the right fit. Give yourself plenty of room for waist adjustments.That being said, I hope I help you make an informed decision about your intentions to purchase a kilt, whether formal or casual.

Very good

I love this kilt, Just had hip replacement, so I am wearing this everyday, even at the hospital, and works well. It is comfortable and non invasive, and nice to wear out as well. My buttocks is beefy and yends to push the kilt out a bit, however, this kilt sits well. I would reccomend a kilt to anyone getting orthopedic surgery (hip, kness etc. ) Extremely easy to take on and off, or leave on and you can wash everywhere.

Really like the weight and length of the kilt. Was a little too big around the top but otherwise very happy with it

Pleased with this light weight, reasonable priced kilt. Appropriate detailing for RenFaire cast character. Held up well over multiple long days.

Howdy! Here are my 2 cents.Material quality:If you folks are looking for a heavy kilt, this is not the one for you. Very lightweight. Doesn't have the comforting heft of a utility kilt or even a standard kilt. Don't go commando in this one gents. One gust of wind and it is Marilyn Monroe. I don't get that feeling from your standard kilt. Probably fair for the price, but if you want to wear a kilt more than Halloween, get one in the $65-$100 range. The pattern looks great though.Build quality:For the price, I think it is OK. No free shipping was kind of a bummer. Straps are not real leather (expected). Some of the strap holes were not fully cut out. Overall, good to go.Fit:The fit is pretty good, but bigger than most size 36-38" kilts I have tried. I am on the tightest strap and there is still a little room to go (I am 6'2" 210lbs).Conclusion:If your intention is a costume, occasional wear, or want something lightweight for the summer, go for it! If you want the full kilt experience, I would recommend you go elsewhere. No hard feelings to the manufacturer/seller. Perhaps it is poor etiquette to recommend other brands, but I feel compelled to do so only due to this kilt's higher price:quality ratio when compared to 'Damn near kilt 'em" or 'UT kilts'. Materials are exceptional for 'Damn near kilt 'em', but they don't have tartans to my knoweldge. Straight up utility kilts. 'UT kilts' has more diversity in pattern, but their standard kilts are priced at 'Damn near kilt 'em's' entry level kilts, but lack the build quality.String question:There is a loose string that binds some of the pleats together. You can try it on without cutting this string to see if the fit is good. It won't look right and the pleats are tight to your lower leg unless you cut the string. I recommend only cutting the string if you think the waist/hip fit is right and you want to see the final product. This may void your return?? No idea because the directions were not clear. I was comfortable with the fit and cut the string and was happy with the result. Will be keeping this one!

Haven’t worn it out yet, but it does seem it could get warm on a hot day even with the air flow. Great quality though, and looking forward to heavy use at ren faires.
