Building your kilt hire pack-

The process of booking your kilt hire is exactly the same in person as booking online. If you have a colour scheme in mind it is worth bringing a photo or fabric swatch in store or having one to hand when booking online.

The first step in any kilt outfit is:



1. Picking your tartan

-We are proud to offer the largest tartan range in Scotland available for hire. We have a tartan for everyone.


2. Picking your jacket

-You can either opt for a more formal black jacket which comes in a few styles or opt for a colour tweed jacket which we can match to one of the colours in the tartan.


3. Sporran & Accessories

-Your sporran is the focal point of your outfit once you have selected your tartan and jacket it is a lot easier to style the rest of the outfit. To finish off you would pick a matching colour sporran and if you decide you want shiny jacket buttons & accessories or antique jacket buttons & accessories.




Kilt hire pricing-

Your kilt hire can be completely customised to you, this means your kilt hire price will depend on the upgrades and choices of your own hire. Each tartan has a starting price on its product page and you can see the hire price update as you select your kilt outfit options.


Hires start at a price of £115 up to £395 , the higher cost hires are more likely for imported tartans and premium upgrades. Our Bute heather collection, which is an exclusive range to Kiltsforhire and our best sellers, these run from £115 to £175 for the complete outfit, all accessories, shirt and socks.


We offer 6 for the price of 5 on selected hire tartans for party bookings.


This means if you had 6 hires at £120 = 6 x £120 = £720 but with this offer your total would only be £600.

I.e. 5 hires and 1 free / 6 hires at the price of 5 ( £100 per hire)




Picking up and returning your kilt hire-

If you're local to Glasgow Scotland you would pick your hire up a few days before your function and return them the next working day, this means you can try on your hire instore/at home and we can make any changes if needed.


We can ship hires to further afield in which we would ship it in advance and you would ship it back to us but for long distance hires we would book you for a long hire in which you pick up your hire instore and take it to your function and return it when your back, this is at an additional cost as the goods are booked out for 2/3/4 weeks and can't be hired out again during that time.
