Kilt waist question?

[OC Richard]

Another thing to remember about vintage army kilts is that most soldiers were young and slim. I have rarely seen a vintage army kilt for sale with a waist measurement larger than 32".

For sure this was true in the past!

It's been changing as of late, and I've seen a few Royal Regiment of Scotland kilts with 38, 40, even 44 inch waists (of course the labels are in centemetres).

Back in the day it was rare. There was the brilliant piper Jimmy Anderson, a huge man



Here he is in his Pipe Major days.

I wonder what size kilt he wore, probably about the same as me. We look to be of similar size.
