What Price Glory

For those who have one, what is the approximate waist to hip difference? I, like others, can have a problem with off the rack kilts because there often isn't enough flair for the butt.

Hmmmm, I don't believe I have that problem, I have a disease called noassatall. Perhaps I'll have to order one of their kilts sooner or later.

I have that same disease!

And thanks to you, SergeantFirstClass, I don't have to save up for a reproduction!

The one you'll be getting is the real deal, it still has the label on the inside of the inner apron. I have one as well. I wear it regularly.

I have thoughts of getting one from WPG, but 22 oz material and the warm climbs of Florida might not be a good match. How does the fabric feel? From the closeup of the bottom of the pleats it looks a little coarse.

My band wears Gordon tartan pleated to the stripe and I am not fond of our kilts. I might be able to endure some warm discomfort to have a regimental weight tartan band kilt. I am sure the swing is most excellent. Now to approach our Pipe Major about them .

My father suffers from that; always amazed me how he kept his kilt or pants up without braces.

Man thats a nice heavy weight kilt, I really like the Gordon.
Now I wonder if a 34" would expand to fit my 35" waist?
And I wonder if a 24" would be to long for my normal 22" length?????

The sizes you quote should be alright. I was measured by a kiltmaker in Scotland last July as a 47inch waist (while on holiday and after a hearty breakfast), but the 46inch WPG kilt fits me fine. Tight but O.K. on the first hole and comfortable on the second (middle) hole. Also length wise it wouldn't hurt to be a bit longer than your normal kilt as these really are genuine 'high rise' kilts, where the waist band is that much deeper than the ordinary (civilian) kilt, hence it's more comfortable to wear it much higher, even as high as the lower ribs. I'll let you into a wee secret. I decided after about a week that my kilt was just too short and have managed to sell it and am awaiting the replacement any day now, in a longer length. The 25inch (actual size only just over 24inches) came to just on the top of my knee. However, it did feel more comfortable higher up on my body which brought it just too short (not too bad till I bent forwards ).
