Great Scot! Celtic Croft Announces OUTLANDER Kilts & Apparel Based on TV Series

The Celtic Croft, Inc. of Minneapolis, MN, has been granted rights to produce official licensed OUTLANDER kilts and apparel for fans of the hit show. The deal was brokered by KNOCKOUT Licensing as the licensing agency appointed by Sony Pictures Television to manage the global merchandise licensing program for the OUTLANDER television series.

"Knockout Licensing has been seeking licensees that offer the kind of high-end, high-quality, beautifully-crafted OUTLANDER products that fans have been asking for since the series began airing," said KNOCKOUT Licensing Co-President Tamra Knepfer. "We know how passionate OUTLANDER fans are, so we are partnering with select OUTLANDER licensees that can do the property justice. The Celtic Croft is one such partner."

The Celtic Croft has been granted rights to produce Traditional Scottish Apparel & Accessories - including custom-made wool kilts, tartans, shawls, and tams - made from the same 100% wool tartan, woven in Scotland, at the same mill contracted to provide tartan for the kilts used in the OUTLANDER series. There are currently five exclusive and proprietary tartan patterns - each representing a different family or clan, which are depicted in the OUTLANDER series. Each of the OUTLANDER Tartans is officially registered with the Scottish Register of Tartans.

"Fans who want an authentic OUTLANDER kilt can rest assured that our kilts are the real deal, made from the same fabric and sourced from the same weaver as those seen on the show," said The Celtic Croft Owner, Joseph Croft. "The Celtic Croft has been in the kilt business for almost 20 years, making custom-tailored kilts to each customer's exact measurements. The Celtic Croft is one of the largest U.S. importers of authentic Tartan fabric woven in Scotland."

The Celtic Croft is a family owned and operated business specializing in kilts, tartans, as well as traditional Scottish, Irish and Welsh clothing and related accessories. The Celtic Croft's primary market is the USA and Canada, but also ships products worldwide. Please visit The Celtic Croft website to learn more about their OUTLANDER products.
