Bespoke British Caledonian Airways #1 Tartan Kilt

Our beautifully handcrafted British Caledonian Airways #1 Tartan Kilt is steeped in iconic aviation history, and a fitting tribute to Scotland's rich heritage and global connectivity.

This unique bespoke kilt is expertly designed to fit you perfectly, combining the warmth, comfort and all-day wear of modern Highland tailoring with its cultural heritage. Designed for superior swing and durability, this is an essential part of a historical event, classy event or for any modern traditional wardrobe.

Authentic Tartan Colors & Pattern

The classic and elegant British Caledonian Airways #1 Tartan features a very dark navy blue base which makes it an ideal choice for a high quality custom kilt. A complex, highly structured canvas, it's an outstanding material for true Highland dress and clearly marked with a strong latticework of fine, soft grey lines and coloured "Princess Mary blue" stripes. A fine overcheck of warm rust or reddish brown runs exactly through the sett, adding a contrast without being too stark to the cooler toned foundation, and the effect of this is to elegantly light up the whole design and make your bespoke British Caledonian Airways #1 Tartan Kilt an extraordinary piece of clothing.
