We are thrilled to launch the brand new JudoScotland Kilt! Crafted from our bespoke tartan, specially designed and woven by House of Edgar using traditional Scottish manufacturing techniques, this kilt represents the pinnacle of quality. It’s fitting that the first of these remarkable kilts was crafted for the legendary Shohei Ono, who is currently residing in Scotland from his native Japan. The two-time Olympic judo champion proudly models the kilt, symbolising the strong connection between Scotland and the global judo community.
Shohei said ‘The kilt is very special to me as it connects my love for Scotland and judo. I hope that I can wear it well!’
All profits from the sale of the JudoScotland kilt will be used to directly support more people to participate and develop in judo. With a particular focus on supporting those in need of relief, those purchasing a kilt will be making a significant contribution towards tackling wider societal inequalities.
JudoScotland Chair, Marc Preston, remarked, “Through our strategic plan, ‘Judo For All’ (2023–2027), we are committed to using judo as a platform to make a positive impact within Scottish society. Sport has the power to reduce loneliness, teach valuable life skills, and improve overall health and wellbeing. With funds raised from the sale of the kilt being invested into projects across Scotland aiming at tackling inequalities, the ‘JudoScotland Kilt’ not only looks great but will do great things too.”
He added, “Our tartan is highly sought after by the global judo community, and we are excited to see how far our kilt will travel!”
We are offering a limited initial run of pre-order kilts that will allow you to showcase the JudoScotland tartan in your own way. To order your kilt, please contact info@judoscotland.com. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to own a piece of JudoScotland history!
How Do I Order My JudoScotland Kilt?
The order deadline for the first run of JudoScotland kilts will be October 21st 2024. Due to the process of weaving tartan by the bale, a minimum order of 14 kilts needs be placed before JudoScotland can proceed with the weave. The hand crafted nature of this products takes 14 weeks to produce, and we hope to have the first batch of kilts ready for the Scottish Open 2025.
