Kilt Emporium Kilt for Men - Traditional Scottish Tartan, 5 Yards, 16oz Premium Acrylic Wool Kilts

Hip and waist are the same size on these. Love the fabric and colors

I like the satin liner. Not all kilts have this.

I ordered this kilt along with one from another brand that was the same price. This kilt is far superior to the other one. The weight and the way that the pleats are stitched down close to the waist. I was really surprised by how well it was made. It also came in a heavy plastic/rubber pouch for storage or travel.Although I bought it as a costume, I wouldn’t hesitate to wear it to a formal function!

This is a very fine quality product!

Fit correctly according to size chart. Good quality and workmanship.

I ordered this Kilt Emporium Authentic Tartan Plaid Mens Kilt - Scottish Traditional 5 Yards, 16oz Acrylic Wool Kilt for my teenage son.My son has been wearing kilts since he was tiny, our church thought he was adorable making his First Communion in one back in second grade.(Our parish is heavily Italian, ever since, we’re “the nice Irish family”, which we are, partly, though we’re also Scots. And my husband is part Italian.) My son took a kilt hiatus in middle school, but now that he’s in high school, he wanted to get a kilt again.This is really a good quality inexpensive kilt. I was slightly dubious about the “acrylic wool”, obviously something is or is not wool. The fabric is made of acrylic, but it looks very nice. My son said it is comfortable to wear, and he likes it a lot more than the wool ones he wore when he was smaller.The kilt has well-sewn, even pleats. The leather straps are sturdy and look nice, the buckles are strong and work well.My son wears a 36” or 38” waist in pants, he’s almost 6’ tall and about 200 pounds. He’s built big, not heavy, he’s broad shouldered, and has sturdy, Scots legs that were made for a kilt. He looks so good in this! We ordered a 40” because he’s still growing and he wanted to make sure it wasn’t too tight, he likes his clothes a bit loose. (His waist is about 36”, he likes to wear a 38” for room.). The 40 fit him fine with the extra room he likes.If, like me, you’re noticing the price and worrying, don’t. I always thought I had to pay top dollar for a full wool kilt—this is just as nice as some of those very pricy kilts. My husband was eying this one, he had been doubtful about the acrylic, but he said it looked great, and would probably be lighter and more comfortable to wear year round. I have a hunch we may be back to buy another kilt soon.High quality, well-made, and my boy looks so grown up and handsome! He’s not old enough yet, but who knows, maybe he’ll wear this to Prom one day.

I've owned several kilts of different price points and quality over the years, which means that I've seen some winners and real bottom of the barrel kilts. I'll start with the features that I liked about this kilt.I appreciated that this kilt has a traditional salvage bottom edge, rather than the cheaper hemmed bottom that you see a lot on kilts in this price range. The leather straps and buckles are of equivalent quality to kilts even up into the $150 plus range. It's roughly pleated to the sett and the pleats are deeper than expected on a budget 5yd kilt. The material does seem to be 16oz, as advertised, which is not always the case on kilts in this price range. The buckles are reinforced with additional fabric loops, just like more expensive kilts. This should last longer, and is a nice feature.Now for the downsides. The lining on this kilt is truly horrible. It is the cheapest, thinnest lining, I have yet to come across. It doe not stay in place and is not long enough to provide any real comfort for the wearer. It's basically a semi-translucent sort of satin fabric. I will definitely need to replace this if I plan on wearing this kilt for any length of time. The fabric itself is also not very good. If you are expecting a scratchy cheap wool sort of feeling, you are in luck. If you were hoping for a polyviscous that feels anything like the wool used in traditional kilts, you are sorely out of luck. I'm sure some would think this rougher material is more akin to wool, but it is far to scratchy to mimic real wool, and is less comfortable than some smoother polyviscous kilts I have owned. As, I said earlier, I appreciate this kilt having a salvage edge instead of a hem. Having said that, the salvage on this kilt is very poor. It is uneven and frayed in several places. I do worry about the longevity and durability of the salvage edge if I were to wear this kilt with any regularity. I have added photos showing two other polyviscous kilts that I currently own. The difference in the salvage edge is obvious. One of these is a more expensive kilt, with the other being in the same price range as this kilt. The kilt Emporium salvage edge is the Black Watch tartan, and sticks out like a sore thumb for its poor quality. also included a photo showing the fringe on the three different aprons. Believe it or not, this kilt has a "double fringe", although it doesn't look it. The difference in fringe is obvious, and the lack of offset fringe on this kilt really lets the apron down.So. My final thoughts. This could have bee a truly great 5yd kilt. It's inexpensive, made from a washable fabric, has deeper pleats than most, and is of a heavier fabric weight than most kilts of this price. The straps and buckles are on par for the price range, and the fit is decent. I just can't get past the very cheap and terrible lining, poor apron fringe, and truly horrible fabric feel and salvage edge. To be up front and honest, I will keep this kilt. This price is excellent and I'm sure it will work in a pinch or if a friend wants to borrow one. However, I can't give this more than 3 stars. There are some great things about this kilt, but the downsides are just to big for a better review.
