Military kilt size

[Tobus]

To be honest, military kilt size labels can be a minefield. They're not all the same, and they're not always accurate.

Some of them have a size number like the ones you describe (size 14). Mine doesn't. It just has a waist, breech, and height numbers along with some serial numbers and such.

Mine is sized for an 84cm waist (33"), 100cm breech (39"), and 170cm height (5'-7"). I don't really have a 33" waist. At the time I bought it, I had a 34" waist and could wear it at the tightest set of holes on the straps comfortably enough. These days my waist is more like 35" to 36" (I'm trying to shed these pounds). I can still wear that kilt and cinch it down to the second set of holes on the top straps for comfort, or even still to the tightest set of holes if I want it really really tight. But that darn hip strap sure makes me fight to get it through the buckle, much less in the holes. If I can't shed the weight, I may have to move that hip buckle or make an extended strap for it.

At any rate, if yours is at all like mine, you should still be able to wear it comfortably enough with your waist being 1-1/2" larger than the official size on the tag. You may be on the second set of holes in the strap. Then again, yours may not fit relative to the tag at all like mine. Let us know how it turns out!
