Buying a Kilt Can Save Your Money

Kilts are making a huge comeback. More and more men are choosing to wear kilts for Celtic weddings, and the growing popularity of Celtic festivals and Scottish Highland Games has made kilts incredibly popular. Men are also wearing kilts to concerts like Burning Man and other festivals because they’re cool and unique. With the demand for kilts on the rise, many costumers are now kilt buying instead of  Rent A Kilt for a day or more. Here are just some of the reasons why buy a kilt is best:

When you purchase a reasonable kilt from the proper Kilt Shop you’ll typically spend somewhere between $40 and $100. Kilt rental rates are usually somewhere between $75 and $100 for a one-day event. This means, Once you’ve paid for a kilt, all your costs are covered.

Made-to-measure kilts

Edge of owing your own kilt can build up your own outfit exactly as you want because rental kilts are already made and come in set sizes. That may or may not be the right fit for you with a made to measure kilts that you purchase, you’re guaranteed that the kilt will look stylish and finely tailored in your wedding photos or that it won’t slip down or fit too tightly during the Scottish games. And by introducing additional items at relatively low cost for example you can assemble a sporran with your kilt outfit to give yourself a wardrobe suitable for every occasion or mood.

Wearing your kilt on special occasions when you really want to look your best it’s important to understand that a kilt should really always be made to measure garment – this matters much more. A custom-fitted kilt should fit you exactly as it is designed so it’s a good option if you reuse it in future.

People also ask

How much does it cost to rent a kilt?

Kilt rentals are generally discouraged considering the disadvantage their per-day cost presents. An expenditure of around $75 to $100 can be expected for renting a traditional Scottish kilt for a day. On the contrary, buying a kilt for yourself will cost around $40 to $100.      

What happens if the kilt rental does not fit properly?

Generally, most rental sites offer an exchange in the case of inaccurate size. However, practically it is quite difficult to bear the exchange and return of a kilt when you need it for an event that is to occur very soon. 

Should all kilts match at a wedding party?

The question of matching the kilts at a wedding party for the men comes down to preference. Aesthetically, it provides for a beautiful array of Scottish heritage. On the contrary, the guests may desire to opt for their respective clan tartan. 

Do all the pleats on the kilt go in the front?

The traditional ruling on wearing a kilt discourages any pleats from going on the front. The aprons are supposed to fall on the front along with the sporran. The pleats, however, are all to be made part of the rear body of the garment.

    I never understood the point of renting a kilt. Even if you only intend on wearing it for a wedding, why would you not want to hold on to that to pass down into your family? I love my heritage and I want to be proud of it. Renting just seems like such a cheap thing to do.
