Made in the USA from the same 100% wool tartan, woven in Scotland by the same weaver, as the kilts used in the filming of the movie! The Braveheart tartan is very rustic, woven in natural wool and earth tones believed to be authentic to that period. The phillabeg (a.k.a. phille-bheagh, feilidh-beag, or “little kilt”) is an earlier predecessor of today's modern kilt. Unlike a modern kilt, it is not a tailored garment. It is simply a length of tartan about 25″ wide and 4-6 yds long, loosely bunched or pleated, and held at the waist with a belt. It is worn to about the middle of the knee, just like any other kilt. One of the things that makes a phillabeg distinctive, is that it has a few inches of tartan flapping over the belt. This flap-over helps keep the belt in place. Without it, the kilt might slip loose from the belt, leaving you standing in your skivvies (or worse!).
