Hi all,

I just bought a “new to me” kilt from an army surplus shop in the UK. It is a really terrific kilt, with box pleats and made to the stripe.

One question I have: are military kilts cut so that they come up higher on the body? Or have I just got a kilt meant for someone three inches taller than I?? Hahahahaha

It is a wonderful kilt. Heavy, with a nice drape and swing, so I am now wondering if it is worth having it shortened, or if this is in fact how they wear their kilts in the military.

Thanks for reading
