Pride Kilts

Kilt & Jacks has been making pride kilts by hand since 2017, and we make them for every flag on the spectrum — not just the rainbow. Every pride kilt we ship — whether classic rainbow, trans, bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, asexual, non-binary, genderfluid, or any of the other flags in our range — is drafted from three measurements you send us: waist at the natural waistline (not the trouser waist, which is the single most common measurement mistake), hip at the widest point, and length from waist to the middle of the kneecap. There is no factory sizing. There is no closest fit. Prices from $109, in polycotton twill with reinforced construction.

Why one brand, every flag

Most kilt makers who stock pride kilts stock the six-stripe rainbow and stop. If you're bi, trans, ace, non-binary, or fly any other flag, you're usually told to "make do with rainbow" — which most people in the community understand is not the same thing. Different flags mean different communities, different histories, and different pride. Getting that right matters. So we make them all — every recognised pride flag with an established colour sequence, cut to the same wraparound kilt silhouette, in the same quality construction, at the same starting price.

Pride kilts have no historical connection to Scottish Highland dress. They're a modern celebration garment — worn to Pride marches, festivals, gigs, weddings, drag shows, and daily wear by anyone who wants to fly their flag in a way clothing lets them. They're worn by people across every letter of LGBTQIA+, by allies at Pride events, and by anyone who wants a kilt that reads celebratory rather than traditional. For a Scottish wedding, Burns Night, or clan ceremony under a traditional dress code, the correct choice is a Scottish tartan kilt, not a pride one.

Materials and construction

We work in polycotton twill for pride kilts — the same 65% polyester, 35% cotton blend used in our camouflage range — chosen because it holds print colour longer than pure cotton, resists fading through wash cycles and sunlight, and stands up to festival wear without losing the vibrancy of the flag colours. Weight is 10oz — light enough for summer Pride events, structured enough to hold the pleats through a full day of marching, dancing, and celebrating.

Colours are printed sublimation-style, which bonds the dye to the fibre rather than sitting on the surface — the result is prints that don't crack, peel, or fade the way screen-printed fabrics do. Pleats are stitched permanently, which holds the flag pattern aligned through movement. Belt loops are reinforced with double-stitched bar tacks. Hardware is solid brass or matte black. Every pride kilt is inspected against the measurements you sent us before it ships.

The pride flags we make

The list below is what we stock as standard. If you fly a flag that's not here, message us — if it has an established colour sequence, we can usually make it.

Rainbow (Gilbert Baker / classic six-stripe). Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. The universal pride flag, designed by Gilbert Baker in 1978 and used across the LGBTQIA+ community and by allies at Pride events worldwide. Our best seller.

Progress Pride (Daniel Quasar, 2018). The classic rainbow with an added chevron in black, brown, light blue, pink, and white — representing people of colour within the community, trans people, and those lost to HIV/AIDS. The most inclusive current iteration of the pride flag.

Transgender pride (Monica Helms, 1999). Light blue, pink, and white stripes. Worn to represent trans identity and by trans people, allies, and at Transgender Day of Visibility events.

Bisexual pride (Michael Page, 1998). Magenta, purple, and blue. The overlap of magenta and blue in the purple middle stripe symbolises attraction to more than one gender.

Pansexual pride. Pink, yellow, and blue horizontal stripes representing attraction to people regardless of gender identity.

Lesbian pride (five-stripe or seven-stripe variant). Shades of orange, white, and pink. Available in the modern five-stripe design or the earlier seven-stripe version — specify at checkout.

Asexual pride. Black, grey, white, and purple horizontal stripes. Worn by ace, demi, and grey-ace individuals at Pride events and daily.

Non-binary pride (Kye Rowan, 2014). Yellow, white, purple, and black stripes representing gender identity outside the binary.

Genderfluid, genderqueer, agender, aromantic, and intersex flags. All available as standard, in their recognised colour sequences and stripe patterns.

Custom flag combinations, allyship flags, and specific community variants are available on request. We don't offer designs that would combine or misrepresent flag identities — each pride kilt is made to fly one flag correctly.

Choosing your pride kilt

Choose the flag that represents you. That's the whole choice. There's no wrong pride kilt to buy for the flag you fly. If you're an ally buying to wear at Pride in support, the rainbow or Progress Pride flags are the standard allyship choice — they're inclusive of the whole community rather than representing a specific identity. If you're buying for a partner, family member, or friend and want to check their flag preference without ruining the surprise, we can hold an order under a temporary flag choice while you confirm — just ask.

Every pride kilt ships in ten working days, is cut and stitched by hand at our workshop, and is guaranteed to fit the measurements you sent us. If it doesn't, we remake it. See our returns policy for full terms. Pride is one of several styles of men's kilts we make — see also utility, Scottish tartan, and hybrid styles.
