Since the newly amalgamated "super" regiment is going to wear the government tartan, i.e., Blackwatch, why can't all the old kilts still be used? I think there may be more than 320 kilts floating about, only 320 new ones.
Surely the kilts will be provided. It's a great morale thing with the Highland regiments, I think.
On another note, I think that the kilts are all tailered, but--I think--they are partially made and sent on to be custom fitted when issued. I know in the USMC, all dress uniforms are tailored to fit, but they are premade "off the wall."
