Redshank traditional kiltmakers offer a unique, bespoke and unrivalled service if you want a truly Scottish heirloom kilt. They source 100% wool and silk fabrics from Scotland’s finest weavers and commission kiltpins, belts and sporrans from Scottish craft businesses to make sure that your kilt makes you feel special, knowing that you look good, whether you need to be formal or casual. Redshank made the outfit Greg Wyse wore when he married Emma Thompson – a handcrafted kilt in Isle of Skye tartan Harris Tweed woven by Donald John MacKay of Luskentyre Harris Tweed. They also made Greg’s black nappa leather waistcoat, silk shirt, belt and sporran as well as his kilt
socks, handknitted in Harris wool. More recently, Redshank supplied the blue herringbone tweed kilt to be worn by Malcolm McDowell in the film Monster Butler. As an independent kiltmaker, Redshank can buy from all the Scottish weavers and have access to a wide range of tartans or they can have a rare tartan woven or can design a tartan or tweed specially for you. Recent customers include the Clan Claus Society (world headquarters in Ohio) with their Claus of the North Pole tartan. It’s red, green, white and gold and Clan Claus members wore kilts in the tartan at this year’s convention in Santa Claus, Indiana.
Redshank have also designed tweeds and tartans for a wide range of customers ranging from The Isle of Eriska Hotel in Argyll to the Big Sur Vineyard in California.
With an extensive stock of tweeds including Harris Tweed, they also make field coats, shooting jackets, breeks, plus 4s, coats, skirts.
