How to measure for your Kilt

Important: When taking measurements you will need someone to help you since you must stand straight, facing forward with your feet together and don't look down.

Kilt Measurement A

The Waist Measurement should be taken at the level of the navel (belly button) Take a firm (not tight) measurement.

Kilt Measurement B

The length measurement should be from the top of the hip bone to the top of the kneecap or mid knee as required.

The kilt is normally worn with the bottom reaching the middle of the knee cap, often measured to 1" above the ground when kneeling erect. Please remember to measure your natural waist and not your hips.

Do you Want to wear it on your hips?

Traditional kilt’s are normally worn high on the waistband, however Modern Kilt’s can either be worn on the hips or waistband or in some cases in between, or basically it is where you feel most comfortable wearing either your trousers or jeans.

If you don’t want to wear your Modern kilt on your waist and prefer it on your hips then find your most comfortable pair of trousers or Jeans and see where the waistline of your trousers rests and measure around that area for your waist measurement when ordering your kilt, it’s as simple as that.

Please make sure you measure your self correctly mistakes can and do happen and mistakes cannot be rectified once the Kilt has been made, once a Bespoke garment has been made it is non returnable.
