Armstrong Original Sport Kilt
Armstrong Original Sport Kilt
Strong, distinctive, and rooted in Scottish Border history, the Armstrong Original Sport Kilt brings the character of the Armstrong tartan together with the lightweight comfort and versatility of Sport Kilt’s Original design.
Clan Armstrong has deep roots in Liddesdale along the Scottish Borders and became known for strength, loyalty, and resilience. One clan legend tells of Fairbairn, whose powerful arm saved his king in battle and helped inspire the Armstrong name. The tartan carries that same sense of courage and an unvanquished spirit.
Traditional Style. Everyday Comfort.
The Original Sport Kilt is designed for people who want the look of a traditional tartan kilt without the weight and formality of heavy wool. Its pleated construction gives you freedom of movement, while the secure Velcro waistband makes it easy and comfortable to wear throughout the day.
Whether you’re heading to Highland games, a Scottish festival, wedding, Renaissance fair, Celtic gathering, or simply want to represent your Armstrong heritage, this kilt is ready for the occasion.
Pair it with a T-shirt and boots for a casual look, or add kilt hose, a sporran, belt, and jacket when the event calls for something more traditional.
Customize Your Armstrong Kilt
Make your Armstrong Sport Kilt your own with available options such as:
- Sewn-down pleats for a cleaner, more tailored profile
- Leather or nylon buckle straps for extra security and traditional styling
- Belt loops for your favorite belt or sporran chain
- Two hidden side pockets for convenient everyday storage
- Fringe along the opening edge for added character
- Custom length for a personalized fit
Easy to Wear. Easy to Care For.
The Armstrong Original Sport Kilt is designed to be worn often. Machine wash it in cold water with similar colors, then tumble dry on low or hang it to dry. For especially crisp pleats, the fabric can be carefully pressed with an iron at approximately 75% heat.
If your kilt has leather buckle straps, dry cleaning is recommended to help protect the leather.
Find Your Best Fit
For the best fit, measure around your waist exactly where you want the top of the kilt to sit rather than relying on your normal pants size. Your actual kilt measurement will often be about two inches larger than your usual pants size.
For traditional length, kneel and measure from your kilt waist to the floor. Your preferred finished length is ultimately up to you.
Stitched in America
The Armstrong Original Sport Kilt is stitched in America and built to combine Scottish heritage with modern comfort, durability, and customization.
Whether you’re honoring Clan Armstrong, attending your next Highland gathering, or simply looking for a great-looking tartan kilt that’s comfortable enough to wear all day, the Armstrong Original Sport Kilt is ready for the job.
Choose your size, select your options, and wear the Armstrong tartan with pride.
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.
