Perfect for weddings, for all family occasions, all manner of personal occasions and for British Airborne Forces reunions and events of course!

The British Airborne Forces Tartan Kilt is made to the exact specifications of each individual. The attention to detail throughout the hand worked areas of the process creates an exceptional garment. In our opinion, far superior in quality to the fully machine made kilts.  Made in the traditional and authentic manner with the ‘traditional selvedge technique’.

Your kilt will quickly grow into being your preferred garment of choice to wear for all your very special events in life to come! The longevity of a kilt is amazing, it is a much better investment than a suit.  With it being fully adjustable you will be able to wear it for years to come!  And we know you will get a great deal of enjoyment and satisfaction from wearing it. Where memories will be created, captured and remembered for posterity.  And your British Airborne Forces Tartan Kilt will naturally become a genuine family heirloom. We feel this is very important, therefore every kilt made, comes complete with a brass disc engraved with your own unique ‘personalised information’ and is hand sewn into the inside of the kilt apron, located directly underneath your beloved British Airborne Forces Crest. All of our kilts also come with a matching pair of British Airborne Forces Tartan flashes and garters. You are advised to order well in advance as kilts are an all year round popular item of clothing.

All our British Airborne Forces Tartan products are the exact same shade as the British Airborne Forces Tartan Scarf that you already love, mentioning this as it may look like a different shade on some images. Thank you!

Description

The ‘British Airborne Forces Tartan’ is the only officially registered tartan in the world, to pay respect to the British Airborne Forces. The British Airborne Forces Tartan is officially recognised by the British Airborne Forces.  And is proudly worn by former and current British Airborne Forces personnel and their families, friends and supporters all over the world.

We have created this Authentic Tartan exclusively for you. Weaving the DNA of the British Airborne Forces into it’s very core, by incorporating these significant colours:-
MAROON & LIGHT BLUE: Represent the iconic British Airborne Forces Pegasus Flash.  Featuring the slayer of enemies ‘Bellerophon’ astride his winged steed ‘Pegasus’.  Introduced by General ‘Boy’ Browning in 1942.
WHITE: Signifies the paramount chords of the parachutes.
BLACK: Is for respect for all fallen British Airborne Forces comrades.

Your unique British made British Airborne Forces Tartan Kilt is made from the finest quality medium weight (13 oz.) British Airborne Forces Tartan.  Made with the full 8 yards, with no amount of effort nor material spared during the making! The traditional selvedge is the proper historical edge favoured by the military and pipe bands and all those ‘In the know about kilts!’  Taking longer to weave than the ‘modern tuck-in method’, the traditional process used to create your British Airborne Forces Tartan kilt produces a far superior finish. Hand marked in the traditional way to ensure both accuracy of the fit as well as the accuracy of your original British Airborne Forces Tartan design throughout the pleated area.  All straps and buckles are sewn by hand and the pleats are machined for extra strength.  With a high quality canvas and lining to ensure exceptional comfort and security for the individual.

Returns:

All tartans in our range are worn by current, former, future personnel and their families, friends and supporters. And are not part of any official uniform.
