Clan Sweeney 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 Clan Sweeney, also known as the Clan MacSweeney, is an Irish clan with a rich history, but it’s important to note that tartans are traditionally associated with Scottish clans, not Irish clans. The concept of tartans and tartan kilts is primarily a Scottish tradition. However, there are tartans created for various Irish surnames and clans in more recent times, often as a way to celebrate Irish heritage and identity.

The specific tartan for the Clan Sweeney or MacSweeney may not have as deep a historical tradition as Scottish tartans, but it has been designed to reflect the clan’s Irish heritage and Celtic connections. These tartans are typically based on the colors and symbols associated with Irish culture and heritage, often featuring shades of green, blue, and various earthy tones.

If you’re interested in a Clan Sweeney tartan kilt, you may want to consult a reputable source that specializes in Irish tartan products. These sources can provide information on the specific design and history of the tartan associated with the clan and may offer custom-made kilts and other items in that tartan.

Keep in mind that the tradition of tartans in Ireland is relatively recent and may not have the same historical depth as Scottish tartans, which have centuries of history and symbolism. However, Irish tartans can be a meaningful way for people of Irish descent to connect with their heritage and express their cultural identity.
