Our first and legendary Kick Ass Kilt design was the Maxi! With no fabric waste fresh from our looms, this kilt is not just a kilt, it’s a cape and a top half piece in one. Designed to follow form, there is only one piece of hardware, the kilt strap and buckle with a 3-inch size range always. Lets face it we all move up and down at little, and we hate those clothes that don’t go with flow….

Available in the four iconic Element colours, and exclusively available in our iconic medium weight cloth woven, a compact and cosy feeling fabric that's delicious to wear! See full details below.

All maxi’s are made to order, it fit’s better, so will be loved more and in time saves the planet and your purse….

Love my maxi!

I bought this as a birthday gift for myself. I have worn it three times to different events dressed up and more casual and have gotten so many compliments.

A dream come true

I couldn’t love my maxi more. I’m addicted to Prickly Thistle now.

For all items ordered as part of the 4 X A Year Club, we can have your clothing to you from as early as 2 weeks or it may be up to 8-10 weeks if we need more fabric. As we are weavers, its super handy right! No waiting months and months for items to pass around various factories, we do it all under one roof.

Most brands in the 'fashion' world add multipliers of x 2 for wholesale then add another x 2 for retail. When you buy direct from us its a less than x 1, we use the profits from everything we create to support more fairly paid jobs and push the textile world to be more eco-conscious.

For Cost Per Wear (CPW) we just wanted to share how buying less, paying ethical prices, loving and wearing more is actually really affordable, its all about the number of wears!

You wear the item 3 times a week for the next 3 years (remember that’s as a kilt, cape or dress!), that is 468 wears. The CPW is £275 divided by 468 wears, Cost Per Wear 59p!

It is something the 'fashion' world in particular is really bad at.... but we are bad-ass so nothing to hide under this piece of tartan, nothing bad but maybe an ass!

To do that, we have these yes we give a sh#t options for you!

WOW, I absolutely love this coat, it is so soft and versatile. The material is fantastic, fun and sooo… bright with options to play with the shape. I was a little apprehensive on ordering at first but no need to have been!
Thank you all at Prickly for making a beautiful sustainable coat that I will treasure and wear proudly!

Earth Day Dungarees

Fabulous dungarees, I love them. The pockets are deep and extremely useful. Comfortable and light. The asymmetric quirkiness matches me perfectly. Love the Earth Day tartan, hmmmm need a reddish pair now.
Service was brilliant. Always someone at the end of the phone with answers to all my questions. Updates all the time. Beautifully packaged and lovingly unwrapped.
I have already planned what I'm getting from the 4 x a year collection. Wish I could afford everything at once but taking on the Prickly Thistle philosophies and trying to not impulse buy in order to create my own "no need to wash" sustainable wardrobe!
Keep up the good work.

Love this scarf and love Prickly Thistle.

I expected to love this scarf, and I do. The hand of it is buttery soft and the weave is wonderful. I have loved everything I have gotten from Prickly Thistle, and am proud to have been a rebel from the beginning. Thank you Clare and everyone at the mill.

Uniquely amazing

I love these dungarees so much! They are very comfortable, completely unique and an investment piece I shall be wearing for many many years to come. They came so beautifully boxed and from start to finish I felt valued as a customer. I was emailed throughout the process. Love the ethos and sustainability of this company.

Just stunning

I have recently purchased a pair of dungarees, I have to say that they are not cheap, but are most definitely worth every penny. The quality,the fit, and the design are amazingly different and they are absolutely a clothing item that will set you apart from crowds .
I was kept informed all the way from start to delivery, communications were spot on. One more point I want to make is how quickly and how beautifully packed my purchase was when they arrived.
Totally blown over - looking forward to putting in my next order
Thanks Pickly Thistle

Limited Edition Earth Day 2020 Dungarees

Wow, wow, wow. I just love my new dungarees. The fabric is beautiful and the design just brilliant. I had so many comments on wearing them out for the first time. Everyone wanted to know about Prickly...so I've told them. Fabulous fabric, kick ass design and all under a B-Corp banner. What's not to love. Thank you Prickly! I will definitely be adding to my sustainable wardrobe later in the year.

Beautiful Garment

Ordered the Dennis Scarf for a Christmas gift. Beautifully packaged, exquisite quality and personalised service! I’m sure this will be the first of many pieces! ❤️🖤❤️🖤

Bought the Rebel Washboard as a Christmas gift. Tempted to keep it as it is so well made and designed - just perfect.

Rebel Washboard

Bought this after seeing the fabulous Miriam Margoles and Alan Cumming in their road trip in Scotland. What a fantastic enterprise, new immediately that my husband would love this quirky ‘cheese board’ to have alongside his whisky. Arrived obviously packed with care. Have recommended this site to family and friends .

Great scarf, worth every penny.

Super soft and very warm. Love pickle thistle.

Awesome

Everything I have purchased has been uniquely fabulous!! I will be purchasing again soon Thanks for your incredible product!!! Appreciatively. Judy.

Live edge Elm woodblock

I adore this piece as I adore everything I have purchased for Prickly Thistle. This Elm woodblock is exquisite. You can see and feel the quality and love which has gone into it. I love the shop’s philosophy as well as their products. The wood block is so beautiful, I keep it displayed on a kitchen countertop. Far too pretty for life in a cupboard! For me it’s a win/win. Thank you, Clare and fellow Rebels!! Keep up the brilliant work! xx 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

Super, Superior Quality

Absolutely beautiful Highland 14 Blanket Scarf, stunning colours, very well packed and promptly posted.
Would recommend this site, so many interesting items with a touch of difference.

My first purchase won't be my last!

I absolutely love my scarf! I actually bought the Dennis 'Class-ic' Scarf as my first ever purchase for sentimental reasons. The character, Dennis, wore a distinctive red and black jersey in the children's comic "The Beano” published by DC Thomson, of Dundee, Scotland - my hometown. I have fond memories of my Gran buying the comic magazine for me and I always looked forward to the Christmas “annual”/book when I was young living in Scotland.
After ordering, my scarf arrived promptly and so beautifully packaged, along with a lovely personal thank you note and shiny kilt pin. It is just gorgeous - bright, light, yet so soft and cosy - and I can wear it in so many different ways - dressed-up or casually ( e.g., loosely draped around my neck, tied with a loop, and draped across my shoulders and tied with the kilt pin). I love the versatility of one piece of beautiful fabric.
Wearing my scarf feels like a warm hug from home here in Canada. I look forward to buying more tartan creations from Clare and her fantastic team that I can pass on to my children.

One of the highlights of my past few years

Being a supporter and believer in the mission and Vision of the Prickly Thistle Shop has been a high point in my life these last few years. I have loved every item I purchased and absolutely adore the manner in which things are packaged and sent. I reuse every piece of the packaging from paper to Ribbon! I also love the environmental aspect of how PT is managed. Thanks to Claire and all the Rebels for making our planet a little brighter, safer and more Colorful.
