Newlywed testimonial

FAQs

How does the booking process work?

Anderson Kilts recommends booking a dedicated groom’s fitting to explore tartans, outfit styles and accessories.

Group appointments can then be arranged for groomsmen and the wider wedding party, while self-measurement forms are available for those unable to attend in person.

When should grooms get in touch?

For peak wedding season dates between May and August, couples are encouraged to book at least 12 weeks in advance. Many weddings are secured much earlier, particularly for bespoke or purchase outfits.

Last-minute hires may still be possible depending on availability.

Do Anderson Kilts offer made-to-measure or alterations?

Yes, Anderson Kilts has an in-house tailoring service, covering everything from simple adjustments to complete bespoke kilt making and jacket tailoring.

How long does the process take?

Hire outfits are typically collected two days before the wedding and returned on the first weekday afterwards.

For purchased kilts, the recommended timeframe ranges from around 10 weeks to six months depending on tartan cloth availability and any tailoring requirements.
