    Not my size, but did anyone else check out the product description. Two things leaped out at me. First, even though the starting bid is listed as 50 British Pounds, the reserve is 150 Pounds

    "This will be sent to the winning bidder Only if the bid is more than £150"

    Secondly, check out the description of the kilt

    "Details and sizes of items are

    KILT 23inch long / drop to knee,and full lenth open is 5 feet 150cm

    with leather strap belts to fasten it waist can be 34 upto appro 38 /40 maybe more."

    Five feet is a 1 .6 yard kilt. My knockaround Sportkilt has more material than this. At first I thought 5 feet was a typo, but 150 cm divided by 2.54 inches per cm gives just over 59 inches, and 59 inches divided by 12 inches per foot gives 4.9 feet. Divide this by 3 feer per yard and you get 1.6 yards
