If you enjoy a traditional tartan kilt, tactical and contemporary utility kilt, but prefer a fusion of both, then a hybrid kilt is the perfect choice. It combines the traditional and familiar pattern that people can easily notice with the more robust design of a more utilitarian kilt, for those who love tradition but need to wear something daily.
A hybrid kilt combines the traditional kilt elements including design, pattern or colour to give it a unique and stylish wear.
A hybrid kilt blends with the tartan, tactical and other designs to have an stylish unique look. It is not a traditional kilt and not even a plain utility kilt. It sits in between where you get the amazing blend of different colours, patterns and designs.
These are made to actually be worn day to day, not just kept for one occasion. The fit and fabric are chosen with regular use in mind.
Pockets, adjustable straps, and sturdier fabric are common across most hybrid designs, giving you something you can genuinely wear and move in without worrying about it.
In our collection, there are a couple of combinations of tartan, solid colours, and pleats depending upon the design. This sort of build is evident in our Modern MacLeod of Lewis Box Pleated Hybrid Kilt, demonstrating the pattern-working of tartan/solid colours in a single piece. Our collection also offers some designs featuring crossed strips of tartan (usually two or three bands diagonally across the front apron) for added, entirely distinctive style.
For those looking for a more contemporary feel, it's time to go for darker shades and a more edgy appearance. Some of our hybrid kilts feature a tartan fabric panel on the front apron while others feature the tartan inserts on the side pockets. For a more traditional style, some kilt skirts will have a piece of tartan wrapped around both the front and back of the kilt with a cotton utility kilt underneath.
We only begin customizing hybrid kilts once we've received all the necessary details from you. This includes the solid colour you'd like for the kilt, the clan tartan pieces you wish to be placed on the front apron, side pockets, or all the way round the kilt.
Once we receive the details along with the size then the kilt is cut, made and we finish with your measurements and not just sending the popular standard sizes in the box. This does take a little longer than picking up a random kilt off the shelf, but it does mean that you are left with a proper customized kilt that looks as you intend.
If it's for everyday use, keep things simple such as tartan hybrid kilts. But, when there is any event or want to go out with friends then you can have a khaki, camo, gothic, or solid colour such as black or blue style kilt. There are different modern styles available in the collection to choose from, which give a different kind of look, more for those who are looking for an urban and contemporary style.
Our mission is to create fabrics that will last longer. Most of the time, our hybrid style kilts feature a blend of tartan wool and tougher cotton or utility fabrics for both traditional appearance and durability for everyday wear.
All kilt-sleeves are correctly seamed, with strong buckles and hardware and will not wear out as you use it, but will last through years and years of use.
There are easy ways through which you can style your hybrid kilt. Hybrid kilt itself presents the stylish look due to the variety of designs available. You can simply wear a blue and white two toned hybrid kilt with a simple t-shirt and boots. Also, if you want something more attractive then you can style your hybrid kilt with a shirt and a jacket while adding some accessories such as a belt, sporran or a kilt pin.
