Will 54" wide work for great kilt?

54" might be a bit tight on the upper portion. You'll want to be able to pull it up in back and drape it over your left shoulder. I am 6' - 3", and my great kilt is wider and none too wide.

You might want to go to a material place--like Walmart--and buy about 5 yards of 54" cheap stuff at $1.00/yard and try it one just to see if 54" will work. It would be worth $5.00 to know before you pop for wool.

Good luck.

I'm 5-10", 34 in waist.
54", at 5 yards was more than adequate, with enough to pull over my head as a cloak.
