He had to either mis-measure his length or he has an extremely long torso and upper leg combination, because I am 6'5" and my length is 25.5-26 inches, and I even have a little extra length added above the fell because of my long torso. But just looking at the strap and buckle positions it does not look like there is any extra length above the waist.
Besides the extra cost of the Manley-Richardson build, he ordered a custom tartan in 16oz woven by Scotwebs proprietary weaver Glen Affric (hence the glena shorthand after the tartan name), and then paid $130 in customs/FEDEX charges, so I can believe that he spent nearly $1000 on the whole thing. Certainly not a common tartan.

You would think someone spending THAT kind of money on a custom outfit for a wedding would makesure they were going to be going through with it....

Trust me on this, I will have been marriewd 39 years one week from today. It ain't the cost of the wedding, even with a $1000 kilt, it's the upkeep!

I'm with Geoff on this one...
...I usually refer to this as the longest and most expensive date that I've ever been on.

I agree, I too am married, but still I wouldn't have spent the money on the wedding and all the trimmings if I didn't think it was going to last....
