    Re: Measuring for new kilt - why height?

    I regard the request by some kilt makers for your height as a "ho ho" test of the length measurement that you give them.

    They want to make sure that you are not 7 feet tall and requesting a kilt that is 18" in length, or alternatively that you are 5' 2" tall and requesting a kilt length of 27".

    If your height and kilt length are not within a "reasonable" range, they may warn you to double check your measurements before they start cutting.

    Good luck with your new kilt. Post some pics.

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.
