Gordon modern?

well at 32 waist and 5 foot 5 height I'm interested.

However size 10 in the MOD charts normally equates to 5 foot 10 or thereabouts. I wonder if he'll reply to the question about the drop.

Just noticed the drop is 24 inches. So unless you're my size.......

Is the "drop" 24 or the overall (does the poster know the difference?). As mentioned earlier, old MOD kilts are highrise and you can notice the tall amount of kilt above the buckle even in the photo.

I Have no information other than what is on the ebay listing. It seems like this is an ideal choice for my size (and surname), but I don't suspect it will stay in my budget for long...

Not sure your budget, but MOD kilts can often be had at prices lower than the equivalent kilt in a custom order. There is a reason that my first kilt was an old surplus Cameron Highlanders kilt.

Good to know, thank you!

May be a silly question, that has been answered, but, without belt loops would one utilize sporran hangers from the belt in the back....for the sporran belt? I assumed the sporran belt uses the loops in back, but without loops, would it just rely on the bulk of the posterior to remain in place ?

There are more than a few gents, especially in the Highlands, I`m told, who prefer their kilts with no belt loops at all. As far as I know, they wear their sporrans with straps in the normal way. Same with MOD kilts.

Yes. Even when I have had "belt" loops, I do not use them.

Happen to have this image handy showing it. This is a simple sporran belt and an MOD kilt. This was before I shortened it to a more normal height
