As it is a matter of proportions, I feel that one should factor in the size of the individual wearing the kilt. My Robertson Red from Robert Noble has quite a smaller sett size than the typical offering. However, I feel it works better for my body type.

Conversely, my Wyvern sporran, while beautifully crafted, gets little wear because it feels disproportionately large for my frame.

It is somewhat humorous for me to read the frequent posts about individuals needing extra long garters, or barrel-chested jackets, when I seem to have just as much trouble locating items for my short stature. I’ve been hunting a second hand 42 Short tweed jacket for years.
