    Fitting a WPG kilt

    I am purchasing a Cameron kilt from WPG and they seem not to have my size in stock. I am a 38 and Jerry has 36's only. Will I be able to adjust the kilt to fit with the waist buckles. I do believe the buckles will give me 2 inches on each side.

    So to anyone out here in Kilt land who has a kilt from WPG please weight in and soon i need to order this quickly

    I don't own a WPG kilt. However, I believe McMurdo owns one.

    I just measured the straps on my WPG Gordon there is an approximately 1" difference between each hole.

    Hi there-
    My Cameron size 42 WPG kilt seems more like a size 44-46, even at the tightest. I think they run big, or at least mine did. Just remember-The Cameron is the HEAVIEST of the 4 kilts he offers (No belt loops either). The material is almost blanket-ish, but if you're in a cold climate-Go for it. I love mine and can't wait for hikes up in the mountains this winter!

    Just so you know my WPG fits fine it does not fit large, I guess that means they can be hit or miss with the sizing.

    I wear my size 36 WPG on the lowest setting. It's still a bit loose, so I'm guessing they run a little big.

    I got a WPG MacKenzie in a 44 and it fits closer to a 46 tightened all the way down. However that's fine with me as I usually wear a 46. I'm planning on ordering a Cameron in 46. I usually tuck a light fleece in during the winter/cold months when going out so a tad bigger is fine by me.

    Your may be out of luck there.
    Jerry at WPG is discontinuing the Cameron due to lack of interest.
