Men’s Formal Attire

If you want the truly authentic experience, there are a whole host of kilt accessories which will give you the total ‘look’. These include :

The Belt – Traditionally made from leather with a decorative buckle
The Sporran – From the Gaelic word ‘spleuchan’ meaning ‘purse’. Kilts don’t have pockets, so a sporran is where a man traditionally keeps his ‘stuff’ such as money, keys etc. It’s actually a small belt-pouch, made from leather or animal hide
Kilt Knife – Called a ‘Sgian Dubh’ from the Gaelic meaning a ‘black knife’. It’s a small knife, often with a decorative bone handle and a leather sheath. Traditionally kept tucked inside the top of a mans’ hose (socks)
Kilt Pin – Small, decorative pin that is worn on the front panel of the kilt
Hose – Knee-length woollen socks. Can be a single color, or checkered pattern
Shoes – Known as Ghillie Brogues. Sturdy leather shoes with laces (shoe-strings), traditionally designed without a tongue. They probably evolved from the early Highlanders’ footwear which consisted of leather or hide wrapped around their feet, and secured with leather thongs.
