Borealis Black Women’s Hiking Kilt
Dark, sleek, and built for movement, the Borealis Black Women’s Hiking Kilt combines a rugged black tartan with a shorter women’s cut designed for active wear.
The Borealis Black pattern features deep black and charcoal tones with subtle gray and green striping, giving it a technical, understated look that fits naturally on the trail. It has enough tartan character to feel distinctly Scottish, but the darker palette makes it easy to pair with hiking boots, trail shoes, black tops, jackets, and outdoor gear.
Designed for the Outdoors
The shorter hiking-kilt cut gives you excellent freedom of movement without the restrictive feel of pants or shorts. It’s a comfortable choice for hiking, travel, festivals, camping, and warm-weather adventures.
The open construction also provides excellent airflow, making it especially useful when you want something cooler and less restrictive on the trail.
Comfortable, Adjustable Fit
The Borealis Black Hiking Kilt is designed to sit securely at the waist while still allowing room to move.
Its adjustable construction makes it easy to dial in a comfortable fit whether you’re walking all day, climbing switchbacks, traveling, or wearing it casually around town.
Customize It Your Way
Depending on your preferred setup, the Borealis Black can be customized with practical upgrades such as:
- Hidden side pockets
- Belt loops
- Buckle closures
- Custom hem length
Hidden pockets are especially useful for carrying a phone, wallet, keys, or other small essentials without adding bulky cargo pockets to the outside of the kilt.
Easy to Style
The Borealis Black tartan is one of the most versatile hiking-kilt patterns. Its dark color palette works well with:
- Black or charcoal performance tops
- Hiking boots
- Trail shoes
- Merino socks
- Outdoor jackets
- Backpacks and technical gear
It also transitions easily from trail use to Highland Games, Celtic festivals, concerts, travel, or everyday wear.

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.
Please Note:
All mini kilts have a standard length of 14″.
