You don't say where on the Planet you live...???

Wherever that may be you are most certainly a made-to-measure type guy. Off-the-rack isn't gonna work for you.

So, FORGET about off-the-rack purchases...they're probably gonna be way too short for your height.

Best bet is to find a kiltmaker who can measure you themselves...or, second best, build a kilt to measurements you have a friend take.

That doesn't mean you're gonna have to spend a lot of bucks. USA Kilts makes made-to-measure in their casual model kilts. You'll be most pleased at the value for the price.

Just, whatever you do don't buy a stock size 24" long kilt just because its cheap - it'll be a disaster. You can verify this by taking a towel or other fabric that is 24 " wide and seeing how it would look as a "kilt." Probably gonna look like a mini-skirt on you with your height and waist.

Repeat after me; MADE-TO-MEASURE ONLY....

You'll be glad you did. Really.

If you're not there financially yet then keep on saving...'cause whatever you "invest" in an off-the-rack kilt is gonna be wasted money for you.

Highland games are blossoming. Maybe you can catch one near you and find a kiltmaker's booth. Avoid the middle men - stick with a vendor who makes the kilt for you themselves rather than sends off the measurements to someone else.

I'm a made-to-measure guy myself. When you get around to buying kilt jackets you're gonna need the same made-to-measure service.

Its not a bad thing. I think we look a lot sharper when our kilts and jackets were sewn up to fit us rather than us trying to fit into a premade garment.
