This commemorative kilt celebrates a 70th birthday, in addition to charting (on the lining inside) the wearer’s climb up one of Scotland’s most iconic mountains, Suilven. The kilt is as bold and brave as the wearers endeavour, mixing three wools and adding day-to-night details. The beautiful wool-silk tweed by Dashing Tweeds, is interwoven with retro-reflective thread that lights up at night, to which I’ve added an extra pop using reflective piped edges on each side of the front apron, finishing both with a double fringe edge. The ribbed Scottish wool from the Isle of Bute appears in navy and lime and follows the symmetry of the front with deep pleats, in what is an equivalent weight to heavyweight tartan.
