Dubhloch Hiking Kilt
Dubhloch Hiking Kilt
Dark Highland color. Lightweight trail performance. Built to wander.
Meet the Dubhloch Hiking Kilt — a lightweight Sport Kilt designed for hiking, camping, travel, festivals, and weekends spent anywhere but indoors.
Named after the Scottish Gaelic words for “black lake,” Dubhloch (DOO-loch) draws its inspiration from the dark, still lochs tucked between the hills of the Scottish Highlands. Its tartan combines deep twilight blues and shadowy grays with flashes of heather, gold, and campfire red — a rugged color combination that looks just as good on the trail as it does around town.
But Dubhloch isn’t just about the tartan.
We designed this kilt specifically for warm days, long miles, and freedom of movement. It’s made from lightweight microfiber fabric that breathes well, dries quickly, and packs easily into a backpack or travel bag. Sewn-down pleats create a cleaner, lower-profile fit while helping the kilt hold its shape when you’re moving.
An adjustable waistband and secure Velcro closure make it easy to dial in the fit, whether you’re heading out for a quick hike or spending an entire weekend outside.

The Story Behind Dubhloch
Dubhloch takes its name from the Gaelic words for “black lake.”
Picture a Highland trail disappearing between rocky hills. Dark water sits perfectly still below a gray sky. Heather covers the slopes, the wind rolls across the ridgeline, and around the next bend you’re not quite sure what you’re going to find.
That feeling became Dubhloch.
The dark blues and grays of the tartan reflect the water, stone and stormy Highland sky, while brighter accents of heather, gold and red bring a little warmth to the landscape.
It’s rugged without being heavy, colorful without being loud, and made for people who would rather be outside.
Throw it on. Pick a trail. See where it goes.
Dubhloch — Black Lake. Built for the wild.
Care Instructions
You can machine wash your kilt with similar colors on cold; tumble dry on low or hang to dry. For the sharpest pleats, press with an iron on 75% heat setting.
Please Note: If your kilt has leather buckle straps, we recommend dry cleaning as the leather will dry out with machine washing/drying.

Get to know your kilts!
What are sewn-down pleats? Do I need belt loops? Great questions! Find out below.
Check out our Size Guide below.
All Sport Kilts are pleated, but you can give your kilt that custom fitted shape with a leaner profile by having us sew down the pleats.
The first 4-5 inches of pleats (measured from the waistband) are sewn down along the knife edge of the pleat (vertically). This provides a more refined look and makes for easier care and pressing.
Please Note: We cannot accept returns for customized goods, i.e., belt loops, sewn pleats, custom length. Please see our Size Guide below before ordering and make sure to measure carefully!
You can add two 1″ wide black leather straps and nickle-plated buckles to the opening end of your Sport Kilt. A functional, traditional looking adjustable double strap. You can also choose a Nylon Buckle Strap option as well.
While all Sport Kilts are secured with Velcro at the waistband, you can give your kilt that custom look (and added security) by adding buckles and straps.
Please Note: If you opt for the Buckles and straps, we HIGHLY recommend adding the sewn-down-pleats option as they compliment each other. We cannot accept returns for customized goods, i.e., belt loops, sewn pleats, custom length.
Nylon Buckle Straps
Leather Buckle Straps
Yes! We can fringe the opening side of your Sport Kilt for extra flair.
Please Note: We cannot accept returns for customized goods, i.e., belt loops, sewn pleats, custom length. Please see our Size Guide below before ordering and make sure to measure carefully!
Yes! We can add 2 hidden side pockets to your Sport Kilt. You won’t even know they’re there unless you’re looking for them, or you’ve got your hands in your pockets. A great custom option for those that have to have pockets on their kilts!
Please Note: It will take us a couple of days to customize your kilt with pockets before your order ships. We cannot accept returns for customized goods, i.e., belt loops, sewn pleats, custom length.
Although you don’t need a belt to hold up your kilt, we’ll be glad to add ’em so you can wear your favorite belt.
Belt loops can also be used to thread your sporran “chain-belt” through. This is the traditional use of belt loops on a kilt.
Please Note: We cannot accept returns for customized goods, i.e., belt loops, sewn pleats, custom length.
The Perfect Fit
Finding your waist size
Using a measuring tape, wrap it around your waist where you’d like the top of your kilt to sit. Don’t hold in your stomach. This measurement is usually 2″ larger than the size of your pants. You might consider giving yourself an extra inch, or so, for comfort. Take your waist measurement (in actual inches) and see where it falls in our size grid below.
Finding your length
The ideal kilt length for you: While kneeling, measure from the top of your waist (where you’d wear your kilt) to the floor. Some say your kilt should just brush against the ground when you are kneeling. Of course personal preference is the rule! Have it YOUR way.
