Open the detailed kilt guideKilt waist
AroundMeasure snugly around your waist at, or up to 2 in (5 cm) above, your belly button. Keep the tape horizontal, breathe normally and do not pull in your stomach.
Note: this is higher than your trouser waist.
Seat / hips
AroundLevel around the fullest part of the hips and seat.
Kilt length
VerticalKneel upright and measure from the kilt waistline to the floor. Give us the measurement exactly as taken. Do not subtract anything, because we make the kilt to that length, and it will finish at the middle of the kneecap when you stand.
Different hem? For above the knee or midi length for women's kilts, tell us in the order notes.
Fell
If requestedMeasure from the kilt waistline to fullest-seat level; see the detailed kilt guide for the matching diagram.
Typical: about 7 to 9 in (18 to 23 cm) for most adults. If yours is far outside that, measure again or contact us.
