I've been perusing some of the folks selling ex-Army, Highland Regiment kilts.

For instance:

Is it just me or are all of today's Highlanders sort of wee little men? Waist sizes range up to a whopping 30 inches, if that!

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?

Some very interesting kilts and accesories, though.

Fortunately, for anyone looking for a regiment-style kilt, the fellow over at What Price Glory (http://whatpriceglory.com/scot.htm) is selling kilt reproductions at a very reasonable price (no I don't work for 'em or own a WPG kilt ... yet). Currently, he's advertising Black Watch, Gordon, Seaforth and Cameron, in even waist sizes from 32 to 50 inches.
