Yes, kilts can be shortened — but it should be done by a professional to maintain the garment’s structure and balance. Shortening a kilt involves carefully adjusting the length while preserving the pleats and the overall look.
At our workshop, we offer a kilt shortening service to ensure your kilt fits just right, hitting the middle of the knee as it should. Whether it's a traditional 8-yard kilt or a lighter 5-yard version, we’ll shorten it with precision and respect for the craftsmanship.
You can shorten a kilt with a temporary hem or a permanent hem, we offer both services.
