    36" waist kilt 40R waistcoat and Wallace jacket

    I am window shopping for a size 34- 36" waist kilt that will fit in with my current wardrobe. I believe I actually wear a 21-22" length drop, but my current kilt is a 23". I just pull it higher up to my ribcage and get on with the show. I have several standard suits and trousers, but until now have only worn a utility style kilt at home and work. I'm looking to step into a wool tartan, but would also consider a synthetic option as well as I am a school teacher with an employer who compensates me well below what is deserved. I would like to wear my kilt to work when possible.

    I am also shopping for a size 40R waistcoat and Wallace style jacket. I like wool and tweed quite a bit.

    I have found a few items that are of interest on the Internet and on ebay, but I thought I would ask here first just to keep things in the family.

    O.K., Rabble. Does anyone have anything that is appropriately sized that they would like to send to a new home?

    Just to clarify, I'm not looking for a handout. Rather, I am inquiring about any used kilts for sale in a 34- 36 " waist with a 21 - 23" drop.

    When I read my post, I felt like the wording suggested that I was looking for a handout. I do have hard earned cash to exchange for a kilt.

    I have a 5 yard 16 oz wool Ireland's National from USA Kilts, fairly new, got it in February 2017 and have worn it about 10 times. I have outgrown the hip measurement, and I'll sell it if you're interested, $175 USD plus shipping (It retails new at $320). Measurements are 35 waist, 41 hip, and 23.5 length, so it is a bit longer than you requested. Let me know if you're interested.

    I'm eyeballing a wool military kilt made in 1964 currently on Ebay. I have placed a bid, but dont want to work against any of you all in the auction. It looks like it would work for me. If the drop is too long, I would think that I could have it altered. I like other tartans better than the Blackwatch, but I would surely wear this kilt without a fuss.

    That kilt looks like a great find. I notice the dual prong buckles typical of military issue kilts.

    Found another military kilt too, but don't know if I can squeeze into it. Does a 33" waist give me enough room? My hips are 33". It is my gut that is a 36.36 right at the belly button. The tartan seems more attractive on the Lovat Scouts kilt than the Black Watch. Either would be nice.
