How to Measure for a Kilt: Find Your Perfect Scottish Kilt Size
Buying a kilt is easy when you know your correct measurements. Unlike jeans or trousers, a traditional Scottish kilt sits at your natural waist (around your belly button). Taking a few simple measurements will help you find the perfect fit and enjoy maximum comfort.
How to Measure for a Kilt
Before choosing your size, take a look at the complete measuring guide below.
This guide shows the three key measurements needed for a properly fitted kilt:
1. Waist Size
2. Hips (Seat)
3. Kilt Length
Step 1: Measure Your Waist
Your waist measurement is the most important measurement when ordering a kilt.
How to Measure
✓ Measure around your belly button (navel)
✓ Keep the tape level around your body
✓ Stand naturally and relax
✓ Do not pull the tape too tight
Important: Do not use your jeans or trouser size. Kilts are worn higher than regular pants, so your actual waist measurement may be different.
Step 2: Measure Your Hips (Seat)
Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat while standing straight.
✓ Keep the measuring tape comfortable
✓ Ensure the tape stays level
✓ Record your measurement in inches
This measurement helps ensure a comfortable and balanced fit.
Step 3: Measure Kilt Length
To determine the correct kilt length:
✓ Measure from your natural waist (belly button)
✓ Measure straight down to the middle of your kneecap
✓ Record the length
Traditional kilts are typically worn at knee length for an authentic Highland look.
