Kilts Meant to Last—Even as You Change

A well-made kilt is designed to evolve with its wearer. Whether you've changed shape or inherited a treasured piece, Bluebell Kilts offers professional alterations that respect the integrity of the garment while ensuring it fits beautifully.

From simple buckle adjustments to complete re-shaping, your kilt will be handled with the same care and attention as when it was first made.

Common Alterations:

  • Strap & Buckle Adjustment (±1–2 inches) — $60

  • Apron Reshaping & Structural Changes — TBD by consultation

  • Complete Re-Make (using existing fabric) — TBD by consultation

Each kilt is assessed individually to ensure the work needed aligns with its construction, condition, and cloth type. We’ll guide you through the best option to extend the life—and comfort—of your kilt for years to come.
