UT Kilts Premium Wool Kilt vs Standard Wool Kilt
We currently have two types of wool kilts: The Premium and The Standard. While both are constructed in very similar ways, there are some differences. The standard style kilt here has only up to 5 yards of material and only uses 2 buckle straps. The premium (this listing) has 3 buckle straps and uses 6-8 yards of material. That gives you a heavier kilt with better "swing" in the pleats and a more traditional looking kilt.
Tartan Information
This is a universal tartan. That means it does not have any clan or other affiliation. This particular tartan is not meant just for law enforcement. This tartan can be worn by anyone that wants to honor the contributions and sacrifices of our nation's law enforcement. From the Scottish Tartans Authority:
"To represent the police departments who maintain the security and safety of our citizens." John A Yestrebsky of the City of Lafayette Indiana Police Department, collaborated with Linda Clifford on the design. A portion of the tartan sales proceeds, will be donated to a national non-profit organisation that represents the interests of the police officers and their families. Azure is for the 'thin blue line'. Navy blue for the police uniform. Red for the ultimate sacrifice. Grey is for the streets and Royal Blue represents police unity."
Who can wear this tartan?
This tartan is classified as a universal or fashion tartan. You do not need to have any special historical or ancestral connection to wear it. The law enforcement tartan was designed in support of what law enforcement does to protect all of us. Anyone that wants to support them can wear this tartan (not just those who belong to law enforcement or their relatives)
Measuring
The size that you choose for your order will be the smallest setting on the buckle straps (i.e. a size 36 adjusts from a 36 up to just under a 39.5). Depending on where you want the buckle to end on your waist will determine your size. A good rule of thumb to follow is to go down 2 inches from your measured waist size. That will put you in the middle of the buckle straps (i.e. 40 measured would order a 38).
You MUST measure in order to get the correct size. Please visit our measuring section of the website to determine which size is best for you. DO NOT use your pants or jeans size to determine your kilt size.
