FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A "GRILLKILT?"
The most amazing grilling apron ever made! The GRILLKILT is not a traditional kilt nor a typical apron. Traditional kilts are typically made of wool, have pleats, and aren't meant for grilling. A "GRILL - KILT" features pockets instead of pleats, is made of cotton and polyester, and made specifically for grilling. We have invented custom grilling aprons made for grilling enthusiasts. The integrated waist "tool" belt supports the weight of your grilling accessories. The D-rings allow users to clip accessories to the belt, such as tongs and towels, with carabiner clips. Make no mistake, this grilling apron is no joke which is why it has been written up in publications such as Men's Journal, Forbes, Charleston Magazine and many others.
WHY IS THERE NO TOP SECTION LIKE REGULAR APRONS?
All of our newer GRILLKILT colors come with a top bib included! A GRILLKILT is a waist apron at its core because that is where the tool belt, pockets, and D-Rings exist. If the items you want to purchase does not come with a top bib, simply purchase our "convertible ragtop" accessory which can be added and removed at your convenience. The ragtop bib attaches to the inside of your GRILLKILT with hook and loop (commonly referred to as "Velcro"). With our grilling aprons and accessories, you truly can have a customized and much improved grilling experience.
ARE THERE DIFFERENT SIZE OPTIONS?
The Original GRILLKILT is "one size fits most." The waist belt can be sized from 30" to 60". The included material in every GRILLKILT order can be sized and adjusted to allow complete waist coverage of up to 46". If you want complete 360-degree waist coverage in the rear, and are between 46" and 60", simply order additional rear panels which are sold separately, in pairs, and in matching colors. Each panel provides up to 6" of additional waist coverage. Product length: 20". Ragtop bib is easily attached and is sold separately, because this is not your traditional apron, but some people want chest protection.

The GRILLKILT Tailgater is a 4-pocket front apron without rear panels and it is also awesome! The belt fits 30" to 72" and can be cut to shorter, custom lengths. Product length: 20".
ARE YOUR GRILL APRONS WASHABLE ?
Yes! The fabric is made of 100% cotton, except Tartan which is 100% polyester. All are washable in cold water. However, there are components (plastic clips and hook and loop) that will shrink or discolor if exposed to sustained periods of high heat. Therefore, we recommend a cold wash. To dry, we recommend hanging or a delicate or light cycle in the dryer. You can also steam out wrinkles. It can be pressed with an iron on low heat. We recommend placing a piece of fabric (or the inside of a side panel) between the hot iron and the GRILLKILT so that the heat from the iron is transferred without damaging or fading the GRILLKILT fabric.
ARE YOUR GRILL APRONS COMFORTABLE ?
Absolutely! It is more comfortable that your favorite pair of shorts. The GRILLKILT is made of soft, comfortable, breathable 100% cotton (except our polyester Tartan model) fabric. You can wear it with or without the rear panels and you can wear it over your pants/shorts/swimsuit/underwear or skin. Fatherly.com says "If it is a kilt you grill in, it's hotter than an episode of 'Outlander.'" (...but they aren't talking about temperature). :)
DO YOU EMBROIDER?
Yes! Some colors are available for embroidery at checkout. See all embroidery variations here. Click the color that you want and if you see an "EMBROIDER IT" button, click and add your text. Typically, embroidery adds about a week to the production time. Also, if you have corporate or personalized logo requests, email us at info@grillkilt.com for a custom quote. Yes, WE CAN DO IT!
ARE THEY MADE IN THE USA?
