    Well, if politics then was anything like it is today, it was probably the wool lobby that convinced the government they needed more material in their kilts.

    If you purchased an 8 yard kilt, or more, get a tape out and measure the length. It's surprising how often they come up short and the kiltmakers are charging for a standard length but can't actually make it fit.
