Is the 34" off the rack? I would be loathe to believe that the measurement taken with the specific directions followed accurately and a tape measure that is also accurate would be wrong. Perhaps the 34" was a "generous" 34' as some of the p@nts makers often do. I know nothing about the company so no negative comment implied.

You can certainly double check with Rocky but the one USA Kilt I own fits correctly and well and the measuring was done per directions on the site.
