Kilt Size Guide
At Scotlandkiltcollection.com, we understand that a well-fitting kilt is essential for comfort and style. Follow this guide to ensure you get the perfect fit.
1. Waist Measurement
To measure your waist:
- Stand straight and relax.
- Locate the point where you want your kilt to sit. This is typically 1-2 inches above your navel.
- Use a measuring tape to measure around your waist at this point.
- Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight. Note the measurement in inches.
2. Hip Measurement
To measure your hips:
- Stand with your feet together.
- Measure the widest part of your hips, usually around the buttocks.
- Ensure the measuring tape is parallel to the ground and snug around the hips. Note the measurement in inches.
3. Kilt Length Measurement
To measure the length:
- Decide where you want the top of your kilt to sit. This is usually at the waist measurement point.
- Measure from this point down to the middle of your knee cap.
- Ensure you are standing straight and the measuring tape is vertical. Note the measurement in inches.
4. Fell Measurement (Optional)
The fell is the distance from the top of the kilt to the bottom of the waistband. It typically ranges from 5 to 9 inches, depending on personal preference and style.
