Custom Hand-Sewn Kilts

Fitted for Life. Rooted in Tradition.

At Bluebell Kilts, each kilt is made entirely by hand to your unique measurements and preferences. Founder Roger Cairns—a Canadian-born Scotsman trained under a master kiltmaker in Edinburgh—combines heritage techniques with thoughtful detail to create kilts that honour your roots and wear like a second skin.
