PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE MEASURE FOR YOU TO ENSURE ACCURACY.
Use a soft (not metal) measuring tape. Double check. Keep a record.
W ________ Natural Waist: Between rib cage and top of hip bone...often just above navel.
When bending to the side, it's the spot that indents or creases.
The measuring tape should be level when viewed from the side.
Kilts are worn higher than jeans and the measurement will be larger than jeans size.
H ________ Hip/Seat: Measure loosely at the broadest point.
L ________ Length: Stand straight. Don't look down. Have helper measure from the Natural waist (above)
to the desired point on the knees. Mid-knee at the longest. Top of the knee cap at shortest.
*__________Total Finished Kilt Length = Length measurement (above) and then add 2" for the rise .
For example 21" plus 2" rise equals 23" Total finished Kilt Length.
To be sure, you can fold a towel to the above total kit length, hold it against your body,
and look in a full length mirror to see if that length looks good .
Your height ________ Your weight _____
Let me know if you want your kilt to come to the middle of your knee or just to the top of the knee.
Also, tell me if you have particularly long or short legs, and a long or short torso.
If your thighs are particularly muscular, tell me so I can adjust the fit of the kilt.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if you're not sure.
If you have an existing kilt, please let me know.
Here is a list of of average total kilt lengths, based on the man's height:
5' = 21" 5' 6" = 22 1/2" 6' = 24 1/2"
5' 2" = 21 1/2" 5' 8" = 23" 6' 2" = 25 1/2"
5' 4" = 22" 5' 10" = 23 1/2" 6' 4" = 26 1/2"
