It's a strange one, isn't it? Being a military kilt it would originally have had a very high rise, and a total length of 27".

Seems that at some point somebody radically shortened it by chopping several inches off the top.

Then, later, somebody lengthened it again by adding a strip of tartan around the top. Crazy!

Not only is there no 2nd buckle on the top apron, there's no strap/buckle on the under apron, it being held with tie-tapes.

Yes if the bad pressing was the only issue it would be a relatively easy fix.

As Tobus says, there's still a large amount of extra-heavyweight MOD tartan there which could be used to make waistcoats or summat.
