I'm planning on getting one of those kilts. I understand they're as close to the original issue kilts as you can get. Since most of the stuff at What Price Glory is WW II period I expect the kilts are taken from that period as well.

I saw this link from Dreadbelly, and I've wondered about them also.

Anyone have one they can report on?

As a Reenactor of various periods, including WWI and WWII, as well as a GHB Piper, I know a bit about the kilts in question. My only caveat Emptor is that proper British/Commonwealth Military Kilts of this period weren't made from the twill weave worsted wool we are used to seeing today, but rather from a heavy woolen fabric similar to blanket material. WPG has reproduced this quite faithfully, and as long as you are O.K. with this, they are nice kilts for the money.
Not tailored to your exact measurements, of course, but that is the way they were issued to the enlisted ranks at the time anyway.

This looks like a great site. I may have to get one of those kilts myself.

Oh man, another kilt. I guess I don't have to eat this month!

I ordered one of these for an upcoming trip to Scotland. I have owned over 16 kilts and this one has just blown me away. Having been kilted in Ireland when it was raining side ways, I want something realy heavy for the Scotland trip in April. I've own Sport Kilts, Buzz Kidder canvas, USA kilts, Stillwaters, Custom hand sewn ect.. This is by far the finest I have every seen. It is Cameron with the box pleats. A hurricane couldn't blow this up but it is comfortable once it is on. Plus it was on sale for only $250.00. I had planned to drop a chunk of change on a new kilt when I was in Scotland, but now I am ruined. I'd love to own another one in Black Watch.I would rate this one as a must own !!!
