I've got a different theory, given the normal high rise of regimental kilts and the relative short length of this kilt, plus the fact that it is sized for someone 5'11"-6'. I'd bet a bottle of whisky that the kilt was cut down, from the top, for a shorter man and the white waistband was added at that time.

Either way, very nice find and it fits you very well. I would suggest rethinking the regimental badge on the sporran, though. I know they're readily available, but (in my mind at least) there is an inherent, implied claim that you served in the regiment by wearing the regiment's badge.

I do like the sporran, itself, though. Very Nice!
