23" |
| 5'7" |
= |
23.5" |
| 5'8" & 5'9" |
= |
24" |
| 5'10" to 6' |
= |
25" |
| 6' + |
= |
25.5" |

| For made to measure jackets only: |
| (d) 2 to 6 - Jacket Sleeve Length |
| (e) 4 to 4 - Chest Measurement - Jacket Size |
You should always get someone else to do the measuring for you, as it is important for this to be as accurate as possible. Kilts are adjustable to allow for weight loss or gain over the lifetime of the kilt and it is often possible to make larger adjustments should they be required, but it is worthwhile spending the time to make sure that the initial measurements are correct.
