Kilts Measurement

We will require the following measurements from you in centimeters or inches. Please do not measure yourself, ask a friend to help as it makes it so much easier and they can double check you are measuring in the right place

WAIST (A)

From this starting point measure around the stomach, this is the waist measurement . Note, this waist measurement is not the same as a trouser waist measurement, as the kilt is worn higher the waist measurement is usually greater than the trouser measurement.

HIP / SEAT (B)

Run the tape measure firmly, but not tightly around the widest part of your hips or seat.

LENGTH MEASUREMENT (C)

To measure the length for your kilt please kneel on the ground, place the tape on the floor then measure up to the navel/belly button. Traditionally the kilt should hang to the middle of your kneecap, unless you prefer to wear it shorter or longer then, of course, we can make to your personal preference.

Note: If your hip measurement is larger than your waist measurement then use your hip measurement.

Expected Kilt Length

Normally, your kilt length will correspond with the following guides. If it’s significantly different, try taking the measurements again. notes below for more info.

Height 5′ 6″ to 5′ 7″ = 22″ to 22.5″ kilt length

Height 5′ 8 to 5′ 9″ = 23″ to 23.5″ kilt length

Height 5′ 10″ to 5′ 11″ = 24″ to 24.5″ kilt length

Height 6′ to 6′ 2″ = 24.5″ to 25.5″ kilt length

Height 6′ 3″ to 6″ 4″ = 26″ to 26.5″ kilt length

Height 6′ 5″ to 6′ 7″ = 27″ to 27.5″ kilt length

Please note:

The length of your kilt drop will depend on how high you want to wear the kilt on your waist. If wearing a short jacket such as a Prince Charlie, you may want to have your kilt an inch or two longer so that it sits higher on your waist. When measuring the kilt length, the wearer should kneel and have someone take a measurement from where the top of the kilt will sit, down to the floor.
