Formal kilt suit from Chisholms Highland Dress

The kilt suit collected from Chisholms Highland Dress epitomises the traditional approach to Highland wear, familiar to many both within and outside Scotland. This formal silhouette is a popular choice among consumers and is often purchased or hired to coincide with an important life event, such as a wedding or graduation.

Heavily merchandised since the mid-19th century, clan tartans and clan crest accessories have long been an integral aspect of the Highland wear industry. This is well-represented in this outfit by a handsewn kilt of Weathered Chisholm tartan and a full suite of Chisholm clan crest accessories sourced from Art Pewter Silver Ltd.

Based in Inverness, Chisholms Highland Dress was established in 1956 by kiltmaker Duncan Chisholm. Reflecting the multigenerational nature of Highland dress manufacturing and retailing in modern Scotland, the firm remains in the Chisholm family to this day.
