Every pair of kilties I sell is cut by hand, which means I can change almost anything about them. If none of the standard listings are quite what you're picturing, here's what I can do and how to order.
Start with the standard cuts
Most people find what they need in one of these:
- Standard (7"): the classic kiltie, with a tongue that hangs just below the laces.
- Blind (7"): low-profile and "no-show," with no visible fringe. It stays above the bottom eyelet and blends into the tongue area.
- Jagged (7"): the fringed, logger-style cut.
- Long (9") and Extra Long (11"): for taller boots, in Standard and Blind.
Prices run from $25 to $50 depending on the leather and length. For a full rundown, see What Are Boot Kilties?
What I can customize
- Long jagged cuts: the fringed logger look in a longer length.
- No holes: a plain oval with no lace holes.
- Contrast stitching.
- Wider lace holes: the standard holes fit thick leather laces, but I can punch them wider if you need.
- Extra-long lengths for tall boots.
- Your own leather: you can send me leather and I'll cut your kilties from it.
How to order custom kilties
- Pick the leather you want from the kilties collection.
- Choose the "Customized" option on the listing.
- After you order, email me the details: the cut, length, stitching, holes, and a photo of your boots if you have one.
Not sure which leather to start with? Some popular choices are Horween Brown Chromexcel, Black Chromexcel, Oro Harness, and Seidel Oxblood Double Shot. My kiltie pairings by boot brand post can help you match your boots.
Good to know
Kilties are sold in pairs and made to order in my shop. Thickness varies by leather, so if you want to fill more volume over the instep, ask me which leathers are thickest. Because custom pieces are made just for you, they can't be returned (see the Return & Refund Policy).
Have an idea that isn't on this list? Send me a message through the chat and we'll figure it out.
