    Thats right.

    I have a kilt thats 188-96-112, this is the largest size before "special made to order" (or at least was).

    historically the sizes were just numbered size 6, Size 7 size 8 etc. this meant it was nigh on impossible for someone without stores experience to tell if they were getting the right sized kit. It changed to this metric basis late 80's early 90's IIRC
