    Tartans for Double Box pleated kilts

    Many have asked us what was the best tartan for a Double Box Pleated kilt.

    This is a tough one to answer.

    Hundreds of tartans will work fine for a Double Box Pleated Kilt.

    Nevertheless, by posting this little drawing I hope you will be able to have a better idea of what I would suggest…
    even though I did not have any of these tartans made into kilts for me personally.

    My family tartans do not enter into the following category but do make fine Double Box Kilts nonetheless...

    Note : 1" = approx. 2.5 cm



    Here are a few examples…



    Braveheart




    Cameron of Erracht (M)





    Scotland’s National Tartan




    Carmichael (M)




    Earl of St Andrews

    ETC. ETC. ETC.


    Best,

    Robert
