    Exclamation Help!

    So i bought a kilt from Squaddiekit.com and am now wondering if it will really fit me or if i'm going to spend more on alterations.

    Specifics: 18oz wool 8 yard Government issued Military Kilt Knife Pleats Pleated to the stripe. Black Watch.

    Size: in Centimeters. 188/88/104

    So it will fit someone about 6ft 1in which is good. 34.6in waist which is fine normally i wear a 34in waisted 24 length kilt. But the drop has me worried 40.9in Normally through Heritage of Scotland i'll take a 24in length. or maybe my measurements are hosed.

    I'm tall ( 6ft 1.5 inch ) and wiegh about 145. any thoughts?
    I like a nice short parade that ends at a bar.

    My first thought is: Sure that isn't a typo?
    I tried to go to the website, but the link in the Google search won't work.

    Found it: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=380046121521

    Look down in the detail, you'll find the 104 is breach measurement, and the drop is 73cm which is a little over 28in. Since these are military high waisted kilts that will probably fit your usual 23in drop.
