Measuring yourself for one of our traditional Scottish kilts is much easier than you think. Just follow the guide below and you will be able to complete your purchase.
Waist:
-
Find the hip bone and, from midway between the hip bone and rib cage, take the measurement around the NATURAL waist over a shirt.
- If you can't find the hip bone, take the waist measurement approximately two fingers above the navel
Hip:
- Measure loosely around the largest part of the bottom.
Length:
- Return to the point where the waist measurement was taken, ie mid-way between the hip bone and the rib cage
- From that point, measure down to the middle of the knee
- Add 2" rise required for a kilt to this measurement
- If you couldn't find the hip bone, go back to where you took the waist measurement, ie approximately two fingers above the navel:
- From that point, measure down to the middle of the knee
- This measurement ALREADY includes the 2" rise so do not add anything
- As a rough guide only, a 5'10" tall man of average build would normally wear a 24" long kilt
Height:
- Taken in you stocking soles
Mesaurements can be taken in inches or in centimetres.
