Royal Regiment of Scotland sample kilt

[Hamish]

No wonder they lost the contract if they only did waist sizes up to 36"

I quite agree, Trefor. My 'Kollection' would love to have one of these kilts added to its inventory, but I refuse to buy something I cannot, at the time, wear. I have not been that sylph-like since I was in my 20s, 50-odd years ago!

This is a very tempting item. I have opened discussions with my Financial Advisor as to the possibilities of a purchase. But I have a couple of ignorant questions.

What is the difference between a box pleat and whatever kind I would have on one of my dress kilts?

And what would be the length of one of these kilts from Argyll? How would I know if it would be long enough (or too long)?

Thanks for your help!

It's as awesome as any other pleated-to-stripe kilt you may have or acquire - only more so!

Thanks! Some good reading to pass the time... Now to convince my Financial Advisor (aka SWMBO...)

That's the trouble with army kilts. The guys they make them for have the same figure I had when I was 20. Not much use to me now though.

Yeah, back when I was actually IN the military I would have fit them but now I would almost have to stitch two of them together.
