I bought this Near Mint condition kilt, Royal Regiment of Scotland army surplus, from a UK dealer in the last month but realize now, after a few tries at wearing it, that I AGAIN bought a size too long for me. UK measurements are 188 / 100 / 116 height/waist/breech. I may have misread the tag in the listing. This is waist size 38-40 but the length is for a man 6′ 2″ or 6’3″ or even a shade taller. I’m 6′ 1″ and this is just too long (27″ drop) for me to wear easily, even allowing for the old way regimental kilts were worn very high up past the waist. This one just has too much rise for my needs. Needs to go to a good home, so I can look for a better-fitting replacement! As the photos show, a beautiful kilt, excellent condition, barely worn at all. The “Government” (Black Watch) tartan in the current lighter shade, heavyweight wool; box pleats, pleated to stripe, no fringe to front panel. No sporran/belt loops on the back, as per military fashion (you don’t need ’em!) . $175 and shipped free within the US, overseas will need to pay shipping costs.
