Long Beach Original Sport Kilt
Celebrate the character of Southern California with the Long Beach Original Sport Kilt. Featuring the distinctive Long Beach tartan, this men’s kilt blends traditional pleated styling with the comfort, adjustability, and everyday practicality of Sport Kilt’s Original design. (Sport Kilt)
Created to honor the community, landmarks, stories, culture, and coastal identity of Long Beach, this tartan offers a unique way to represent the city wherever you go. It’s a great choice for Long Beach locals, former residents, visitors with a connection to the city, or anyone who simply likes a modern tartan with a story behind it. (Sport Kilt)
A Tartan Inspired by Long Beach
The Long Beach tartan was designed to reflect the pride and personality woven throughout the city. Rather than being tied to a traditional Scottish clan, it celebrates a modern community and the people, places, and experiences that give Long Beach its identity. (Sport Kilt)
That makes the Long Beach Original Sport Kilt especially versatile. Wear it to represent your hometown, commemorate time spent in the city, or simply enjoy a distinctive plaid that stands apart from traditional clan tartans.
Traditional Style with Everyday Comfort
The Long Beach Original Sport Kilt gives you the recognizable silhouette of a traditional kilt in a design intended for real-world wear.
A clean front apron showcases the Long Beach tartan, while the pleated construction provides comfortable movement and classic kilt styling. Sport Kilts are secured with Velcro at the waistband, making them straightforward to put on and comfortable to wear throughout the day. (Sport Kilt)
It’s an excellent choice for:
- Long Beach events and community gatherings
- Scottish and Celtic festivals
- Highland Games
- Weddings
- Renaissance fairs
- Concerts and music festivals
- Sporting events
- Travel
- Parades
- Outdoor gatherings
- Casual weekends
- Everyday wear
Pair it with a black T-shirt and boots for a clean modern look, or add a sporran, kilt hose, flashes, belt, vest, or jacket when you want something more traditionally Highland.
Customize Your Long Beach Sport Kilt
The Long Beach Original Sport Kilt can be customized with sewn-down pleats, buckle closures, belt loops, fringe, hidden side pockets, and custom length. (Sport Kilt)
Sewn-Down Pleats
Choose sewn-down pleats for a cleaner, more tailored silhouette. The first approximately 4–5 inches of each pleat are stitched vertically along the knife edge from the waistband. This creates a more refined shape while also making the pleats easier to maintain and press. (Sport Kilt)
Buckle Closure
Add two 1-inch black leather straps with nickel-plated buckles for extra security and a more traditional appearance. Nylon buckle straps are also available.
The straps supplement the standard Velcro closure rather than replacing it. Sport Kilt recommends pairing buckle straps with sewn-down pleats for a particularly polished finished look. (Sport Kilt)
Hidden Side Pockets
Need somewhere for your phone, wallet, or keys? Add two hidden side pockets for practical storage without changing the clean exterior appearance of the kilt. (Sport Kilt)
Belt Loops & Fringe
Optional belt loops allow you to wear your favorite belt or thread a traditional sporran chain through them. Fringe can also be added along the opening edge of the kilt for an extra touch of Highland character. (Sport Kilt)
Easy to Care For
The Long Beach Original Sport Kilt is designed for regular wear and straightforward maintenance.
Machine wash it cold with similar colors, then tumble dry on low or hang to dry. For particularly sharp pleats, Sport Kilt recommends pressing with an iron at approximately 75% heat. If you add leather buckle straps, dry cleaning is recommended because repeated machine washing and drying can dry out the leather. (Sport Kilt)
Get the Right Fit
For waist sizing, measure around the exact point where you want the top of your kilt to sit rather than relying only on your normal pants size. Sport Kilt notes that this measurement is typically about 2 inches larger than your pants size, with a little extra room optional for comfort. (Sport Kilt)
Current standard sizing includes:
- Small: 25–30″ waist / 18″ length
- Medium Long: 27–33″ waist / 22.5″ length
- Large: 34–38″ waist / 22.5″ length
- XL: 39–46″ waist / 22.5″ length
- XXL: 47–54″ waist / 22.5″ length (Sport Kilt)
Custom length is also available. For a traditional kilt length, kneel and measure from your preferred waistband position to the floor. (Sport Kilt)

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.
