Royal Regiment of Scotland Dress Regs

Thanks for the pics.

A thought about jacket length. It is often said that kilt jackets need to be shorter than regular jackets. With some of the "home made jobs" posted on the forum, it seems that they are made too short. The number 2 jacket (if that is what it is) is actually quite long. The mess dress short. Does this suggest that everyday kilt wearing jackets might be worn longer? My Argyle is only 3 inches shorter than my regular sports jackets.

You are welcome. You will find that the MOD issue kilts are longer than those you would normally get if you purchased privately, certainly mine nearly comes to the top of the buttons on my mess kit waist coat where as you might only expect a standard kilt to come to the bottom of the waistcoat (allowing for a little overlap).

this might explain why the jacket looks a little long.


I don't think this "model" does the uniform justice in these shots anyway!!
