Chisholm Hunting Modern Tartan Kilt

$99.00

Decide where you want to wear your kilt. You can wear it at your natural waist, a bit above your belly button, or lower, closer to your hips like jeans or shorts. It’s your choice, depending on what’s most comfortable for you. If you want a more flattering look, it’s recommended to wear it higher up. Use a measuring tape to find where you want the top of your kilt to sit. Make it snug but not too tight, and stand naturally without sucking in or pushing out your stomach.

(Measuring the Space between Waist and Hip) Extend the measuring tape from the point you marked on your waist to the spot you noted on your hip. The pleats will be securely sewn along the fell, and this contributes to the distinctive swaying and fluid motion of a kilt as you walk.

Measure around the broadest part of your hip. To find this spot, stand with your back against a wall and take a few steps back. The area that makes contact with the wall first is where you should have your measurement.

A kilt is typically worn around knee length. If you prefer a very traditional appearance, position your kilt at the top of your knee. But if you like a more relaxed, hip-level look, place it at the bottom of your knee. To determine the length, stand upright and have your Trusty Assistant measure from the point where you took your waist measurement down to your chosen knee spot for the kilt’s hem. Alternatively, you can bend your knees and measure from the waist to the floor. Make sure these measurements are precise – double-check them, and even triple-check if needed. If something doesn’t feel right or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.

The Chisholm Hunting Modern Tartan is often associated with outdoor and sporting activities. “Hunting” tartans, such as this one, were typically worn for hunting and other outdoor pursuits, and their colors and patterns were chosen for their practicality and ability to blend in with the natural surroundings. The “Modern” designation indicates that the colors in the tartan are brighter and more vibrant than the older, more muted “Ancient” versions.

The Chisholm clan, like many Highland clans, has a complex history, marked by loyalty to Scottish monarchs and participation in various conflicts and battles. The Chisholm clan chief, known as the Chisholm of Chisholm, played a prominent role in the clan’s leadership and maintained the clan’s traditions.

Wearing a kilt made from the Chisholm Hunting Modern Tartan is a way for individuals with Chisholm clan heritage or those who admire the clan’s history and traditions to celebrate their connection to this Scottish clan.

It’s important to note that tartans have been used for centuries to symbolize clan or family affiliations and, in more recent times, have also been adopted by individuals and organizations for various purposes. The Chisholm Hunting Modern Tartan, like many tartans, serves as a cultural and historical symbol, and it continues to be worn with pride by those who identify with the Chisholm clan or appreciate the aesthetics of the tartan.
