Anyone Own a What Price Glory Regimental Weight Kilt?

Hi All,

I've been in contact with What Price Glory, and while they respond quickly and politely, I'm led to believe that their comprehension skills are a little lacking.

I wanted to know how they measure their waist size: Is the number given at the tightest strap setting, middle setting, or the largest possible? I've received instructions on how to measure myself twice instead of a proper answer, despite reformulating the question and detailing that I wanted to know if the size was with the kilt at its' tightest or largest, or in between...

You all may also be interested to know that they have no intention of ever restocking their kilts as they are apparently not popular, so anyone who wants one might want to think of doing so sooner rather than later.

Thanks in Advance!

Mathew

My experience is that they fit about 2" or more larger, ie their kilt that is a 46" would be considered a 48".

Wonderful, thank you. So if I wanted one that fits a 43 waist, I could get a 42 and just not have it at the tightest setting, if I understand correctly.

I have one that is a "36" and it is more like a 32." I it is also supposed to be Black Watch but the sett is wrong.

Just the opposite of my experience. It would appear that there is a QC issue. WPG do have an excellent return policy, however shipping such a heavy garment is expensive, regardless of who is paying for it.

I would hesitate to call the WPG kilts "regimental weight".

Though admittedly my experience was with just one kilt.

The fabric had no resemblance whatsoever to any kilting fabric of any weight. Lightweight 9oz UK-woven tartan has more similarity to regimental weight tartan than the strange flimsy insubstantial stuff my WPG kilt was made from. Oh yes it was sold as "regimental weight".

Also the fabric had a strange waxy feel to it.

If you want a regimental weight kilt I recommend getting the extremely nice 18oz regimental tartan from House Of Edgar. This has a distinctive slightly fuzzy blanketlike surface quite unlike civilian tartan.
