Have always wanted the solution since you still find it difficult to distinguish tartan kilts from utility kilts. If yes, this post is for you. I am showing the real variations between the utility kilt and Tartan tartan kilt today. Let me thus go one by one over the variations. We have also compiled a list of Kilts Sale for you here.
Utility Kilt VS. Tartan Kilt
Fabric
Being from Scotland, Ireland, and Celtic, tartan kilts have a background. It belongs to the tribes; every tribe has tartan, their own unique fabric. Tartan kilts have almost 100 designs since they reflect several tribes from those regions.
Conversely, a utility kilt is an advanced variation of the classic kilt composed of several materials and designs. Utility kilts abound in cotton, leather, denim, and many more materials. These are simply contemporary materials; they have no historical significance. Here at Get Best Sporrans, you will find Please visit our Great Kilt here.
Design
Tartan kilts, sometimes known as traditional kilts, have a long-standing historical design based on the front apron and back pleats that define the tartan kilt. The apron covers a front area of legs and is 4–16′ wide; one side of the apron has a fringe ending, which accentuates the back pleat standout. Back pleats allow one to maximize fabric usage to keep the body warm in cold conditions.
Made in line with contemporary needs, utility kilts—also known as working kilts—help to preserve the legacy and satisfy personal needs. Some utility kilts also include cargo pockets to hold your items while working; the front apron is 10″ wide and finishes in the middle of both legs. Furthermore, various types of hooks, buckles, and buttons are attached to many contemporary kilts to accentuate your traditional attire. The best model of modern-day kilts is the cargo utility kilt.
Production
The tartan kilt, or traditional kilt, has a historical background; similarly, manufacturing has evolved. The traditional kilts are created by hand using a needle and without any machine involved. Although utility kilns are produced using machines, some of the manufacturing techniques used there are still done by hand. See the specifics here if you are interested in Blackwatch Tartan’s background.
Kilt Fastening
Kilts used to fasten in ancient times with the same color fabric; today, even the traditional kilts have adjustable leather straps to fasten them. Two leather straps—one at the right side and another at the left side—that the Tartan kilt proposes can be fastened together. Utility kilts also use the same strap style; fastening your kilt calls for two leather straps on both sides. There are some designer kilts on the market, though, that fasten buckles, hooks, buttons, chains, and other materials using other tools.
Pockets
Irish and Scottish people used to carry their belongings in a purse called Sporran alongside their belts. Doing that was motivated by a traditional kilt lacking a pocket. There are many kilts available with cargo or hidden pockets to carry your belongings; a utility kilt or modern kilt comes in many designs.
Conclusion
These are some variations between tartan kilts and utility kilts. I am sure these details will satisfy all your questions about these kilts.
