Clan Kincaid Modern Tartan Kilt

$110.00

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 Clan Kincaid Modern Tartan is a traditional Scottish tartan associated with the Kincaid clan, a Scottish clan with historical roots in the Stirlingshire and Stirlingshire areas. The tartan design known as “Clan Kincaid Modern” is one of the variations of the Kincaid tartan and is typically characterized by a specific combination of colors and patterns.

The history of the Kincaid clan, like many Scottish clans, is rich and storied. Here’s a brief overview of the history of the Kincaid clan:

  1. Origins: The Kincaid clan takes its name from the village of Kincade, situated in the parish of Stirling, Scotland. The clan’s name is believed to be of Gaelic origin, with “Ceann Cèid” or “Cèann Cèite” likely meaning “head of the wood” or “wooded headland.”
  2. Early History: The Kincaids were a small clan with a territorial presence in Stirlingshire. They held lands around the area, including Kincardine, and were associated with Stirling Castle.
  3. Loyalty: The Kincaids were known for their loyalty to the Scottish crown and were often involved in the conflicts and wars of the time, including the Wars of Scottish Independence.
  4. The Kincaid Tartan: The specific design of the Clan Kincaid Modern Tartan, which includes a mix of colors like green, blue, black, and white, is a modern interpretation of traditional tartans associated with the Kincaid clan. It was created to be worn as kilts and other clothing items.
