    Custom Harris Tweed Kilt Ensemble

    Ladies and Gentlemen;

    We are coming up on the 100th anniversary of the Harris Tweed "Orb Mark" and I don't know about you, but I just feel the need to celebrate!

    What better way than with a completely custom made, coordinating Harris Tweed kilt ensemble?!

    Introducing the latest offering from the Scottish Tartans Museum gift shop...


    To begin with, we will have a length of Harris Tweed woven in the tartan of your choosing for your kilt...

    Then, we will have a length of Harris Tweed in a coordinating solid color, from your tartan, for the jacket and waistcoat...

    Then, as a final option, we can even have a custom sporran made for you using a piece of your Harris Tweed as an inlay...

    The end result = a completely unique kilt outfit which honors the tradition of crofters weaving in the Outer Hebrides.



    Order yours today!

    Wow! That's really sharp! And the different textures and contrasting elements keep it from being too matchy-matchy...drool...

    Matt, why do you do this to us?

    Don't forget about the custom-made hose and bonnets the Museum offers to go along with this tweed attire.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    I don't think I've EVER been that good.

    What a beautiful offering, Matt.

    If ONLY I had the loose change lying about.

    I am not wishing to "jump the gun" here Matt, but purely out of interest; on the subject of the Harris Tweed tartan that you are talking about.Would that be the same Harris tweed tartan that Nick(Scotweb) has been talking about too?

    I love the tweed in the jacket, by the way.

    There are only a limited number of suppliers of authentic Harris Tweed cloth, so it could very well be woven by the same weavers Nick is using. But I don't know that to be a fact.
