Anyone seen this type of kilt closure before? Any thoughts?

A kilt just sold today on shopgoodwill.com that had a similar closure. When I first saw it, I thought it was a a women's kilt as it appears to close on the left with four buttons and no straps. Goodwill says men's. It think they're wrong. The brand is Basler which Google returns as a maker of Women's clothing. The thing that throws it off is the label says 42. I've never seen that as a women's size.

Completely agree. This looks to be a woman's skirt ... in addition to the unusual button closure (for a man's kilt), notice also the pockets on the front cut at an angle. Although it's hung on the hanger with the buttons centered in the photo, the placement of the pockets in relationship to the button closure indicates the buttons would be off-center, running down the front of the left hip facing front. The length and pleating (especially on the front) also suggest a woman's skirt to me.

The OP's photo shows something different. It looks like the fringe of the front apron is on the right (suggesting the photo is taken from the back), so the buttons would be right hip. A strange closure for a kilt. And still COULD be a women's skirt, but it's less obvious than the one from Goodwill.
