How do I clean my kilt?
First things first, we usually recommend dry-cleaning. If you do dry clean, be sure to notify the cleaners of any special metal or leather design details if they are present in your style so they do not use the wrong chemicals on your kilt. It is generally a good idea to let them know the fabric composition of the kilt also! Cotton for solid colors, acrylic wool for tartans. The straps on the back of the pockets are a poly blend.
That being said, you can wash your kilt yourself. We recommend hand washing in cold water with mild detergent, or washing it alone in your washing machine on delicate, especially the first time you clean it, just in case the dye is not completely set. Then you should hang dry, pulling the pleats straight to help with some of the wrinkles, until just damp. Then you should iron your kilt inside out if possible to preserve the press on the pleats. Use the correct heat setting on your iron for the material - cotton for solid colors and acrylic wool for tartans. Make sure not to put your kilt in the dryer - it will reduce the lifespan of your kilt significantly, and high heat could make it shrink. Our kilts are quite sturdy, but maintaining these practices every time you wash your kilt will help you get the longest life out of your kilt possible.
Can you make a custom kilt with my family tartan?
We are happy to make custom kilts for those who have specific tartans they'd like us to use. Unfortunately, we are not able to make the tartan fabric ourselves, since our loom can only make fabric in hundreds of yards at a time. That said, if you would like to send us some fabric in your special tartan, we would be happy to make one custom for you. To make a whole kilt in a certain tartan, we need 3 yards of 60" width fabric in 13-20oz weight. The fabric can be any pattern you like, you send it to us and we'll make your kilt! If you wanted a hybrid kilt with just the pleats in your special tartan, you would only need to send us 1.5 yards. If your fabric is 45" width instead or if your waist measurement is larger than 46", we may require additional yardage of fabric.
Please reach out to info@verillas.com with your request, and we would be happy to help you set up this custom order!
