Why 8 yards?

The traditional Highlander kilt requires eight full yards of tartan—double the cloth of modern casual kilts. This creates deeper pleats, fuller swing, and the unmistakable silhouette that has defined Scottish formal wear for centuries. The Buchanan Muted sett, with its softened ancient tones, honors that legacy with quiet confidence.
