Clothing can tell a story, and it can also help tell your story. And what better way to help tell your story than getting your own tartan designed and then getting a set of kilts made from it.

Each colour was carefully selected by the customer and then skilfully designed by Gordon Nicolson Kiltmakers to make this beautiful personalised tartan.

It was a great joy to make these two kilts in the customers' very own tartan, helping them add pieces of clothing to their families' story, that can be passed down to future generations, adding memories that will last lifetimes.

Heritage craft, future heirlooms.

The contrasting red stripe really stands out against the navy and green in this tartan.

A more traditional base with a pop of colour to make the tartan its own.

Another kilt finished and sent on its way.

It all starts with a rip...

When you have eight yards of cloth to cut down to the correct size, it is actually easier and quicker to rip the cloth.

A lot of people find this strange, as they don't understand how it will rip in a straight line.

Well, with tartan being 100% pure wool and woven to an extremely high standard, the way it is woven means it will rip in a straight line.

Looser woven fabrics, or cheaper fabrics, won't rip in a straight line or won't rip at all.

If you are thinking about getting a kilt made for yourself or would like further details, please just drop me a message.

Green and Navy are a staple in Tartan, and you can see why.

Even though it is simple in design, this tartan comes together beautifully as a kilt.

Understated, classic, and timeless.

These two kilts are making their way to a father and son, where I am sure they will have lots of adventures and take part in making lots of amazing memories.

It has taken a while (6 years to be exact), but this kilt has finally been made and brought to life.

This tartan was chosen as it is something different. Not colours you see every day, or or typically associate with tartan. Something that can be worn traditionally but also alternatively.

They way it has been pleated is also not typical. Picking alternate pleats of the purple stripe and the grey block really helps make this kilt indevidual.

I can't wait to see this being worn out in the wild.

To see and learn more about this kilt, follow along to stay up to date.
