military kilt numbers

**Nick the DSM** · 18th October 09, 03:25 PM

I forget how to decipher the numbers on a military kilt for the measurements, I know ones for the waist, hip and length but are they in centimeters or millimeters?

170 72 88

PS yes i've searched, i can't find the thread.

Hi Nick,

These measurements are centimetres. 1 inch = 2.54 cm

Regards

Chas

Okay, cool.

Now I must find my calculator...

It's actually Height, Waist, and Breech (Hips).

So: 5' 6", 28 1/3", and 34 2/3"

I would prefer something like 6'5", 38", 42". What's up with that?

At least the waist is a normal size!

I dunno but the 6 inch diff between the waist and hip is kinda wierd.

It'd probably be closer to 5' 6½" to 5' 7". But I suppose that probably doesn't help either!

Military kilts, especially old ones, are notoriously small for the modern man!
