Bold and heritage-rich, the Modern Macleod of Lewis Box Pleat Kilt brings one of Scotland's most striking tartans to a made-to-measure men's kilt — the unmistakable black and yellow of Clan MacLeod, finished in a sharp box-pleat style.
The Macleod of Lewis Tartan
The MacLeod of Lewis tartan is famous for its bold black and bright yellow check — one of the most recognisable setts in Scotland. It belongs to the Lewis branch of Clan MacLeod, from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, a clan whose history stretches back centuries. You don't need MacLeod roots to wear it — anyone can enjoy this striking tartan.
The Box Pleat Style
Unlike fuller knife pleating, the box pleat uses deep, even folds for a cleaner, more structured silhouette with a touch of military heritage — giving this kilt a distinctive, modern character.
