I have actually seen a couple of Black Watch kilts for sale with 84 cm waists (33 in), but by and large (or small) they're running more like 26-31 inches.

OK, even when I was IN the Army, my smallest waist size was about 34 inches, and some of these kilts actually run as small as 70 cm (about 27 in)!

Are the Highlanders smaller than average or what?
cgordon,

I would be extremely suspicious of claims of military kilts in those sizes. Modern day Highlanders are certainly not that small. They sound like young teenage sizes to me, and thesefore not real regimental kilts.
