Ron I ordered a 23" length and it worked out fine for me, 22.5-23 is how long my other kilts are so no real difference for me, the best thing to do would be to email Jerry at WPG and give him your concerns, he is great to work with.

Thanks, that's one nice looking piece if kiltage. Now you have me thinking ...

CT - cuz one Cameron kilt isn't enough

I ordered the 23" length, which worked well with my WPG Gordon. I normally wear a 22". Its a pretty tartan and should keep me warm during Virginia's cool and damp winters-heck, I even wear my other in the summer so I'm sure it will get alot of use.

Ron;

My 'normal' kilts are 24" long compared to my one WPG Black Watch, which is 25" long. I cannot answer regarding waist size as mine changes a bit every now and then.

As to mearsure, be sure to measure at the navel or even above since it's a military kilt and should be warn about there. It might be kind of funny looking if you try to wear it on the hips.

The length shouldn't have to be any longer due to the wool, though. I am 6' - 3", and the 24" hits me just at the top of the knee cap. It's one of my shorter kilts, but don't like them longer than the top of the knee cap.

Good show, David. I want one of the MadKenzies some time, but that IOS is calling my name.

well almost.

USPS didn't leave the package on my porch, they just left me a notice.......dang it! It was a sub-driver that didn't know Dave needs his new kilt now!
I'm going to drive to the Post Office in the morning and get it myself.
Can't wait.

Got my Cameron kilt today-its great. I'll post pictures and a review shortly.
Have it on right now! Life is good on a cold, foggy and rainy night in Virginia. BTW, the straps seem to be of a little bit better quality this time.

I wore my WPG Black Watch, yesterday. I do have a Cam of Erracht in military, but not by WPG. I hope you get years of enjoyment with yours.

How many inches do you add to the length for the WPG high waisted kilts...and since they are such thick wool and pleats do you need to add more to the waist size? Looking to get an accurate fit. Thanks for any tips.

Ron

Ron, Here are my tips ( Note, except for 4 kilts my (3 SWK's are also high waisted), all of mine are "REGIMENTALS" (4 incl.1 WPG)

1. Take your measurements & contact WPG. Give thenm the info & ask for advise.
2. Measure
A. Waist - just @ lowest rib. (about 1-1/2" aboe navel.)
B. Measure "drop" - from the above (should be about 1-1/2" longer than norm.) NOTE- this will be @ top of knee,but if you want mid knee, tell them. C. Measure "breach" ( your BUTT)
