Kilt Size Guide

How to Measure for a Kilt — Never Use Pant Size

For Men’s Kilts — Utility and Traditional

For Women’s Kilts — Utility and Kilted Skirts

IMPORTANT: Always measure your waist at the height you’ll wear the kilt — never use your pants size.

Examples:

If your measured waist is 36", order a 36 utility kilt.

If your measured waist is 37", utility kilts use even sizes — order a 36 for a snug fit or a 38 for a looser fit.

Utility Kilts

GlenLoch, GlenCrae, GlenTorin Utility Kilts

Order the size you measure. If you’re between sizes, order down for a snug fit or up for a looser fit. Each kilt has two snap settings that give you 1 inch of adjustment up or down.

Wild Horizon Utility Kilts

Order your measured waist size. The adjustable Velcro waist gives you flexibility, so sizing up or down both work if you fall between sizes.

Ultimate Utility Kilts

Order the size you measure. If you’re between sizes, go down (a 37″ waist should order a 36). Each kilt has two snap settings for a 1-inch adjustment up or down. The comfort waist also expands up to 2 inches past the snap setting you choose.

Athlete Utility Kilts

Order your measured waist size. If you’re between sizes, you can size up or down. The Velcro waist makes either option work comfortably.

Traditional Kilts

Premium, Standard, and Lochmore Traditional Kilts

The listed size is the smallest strap setting. A size 36 adjusts up to just under 40. For the best fit, order 2 inches below your measured waist so you land in the middle of the adjustment range.

Examples:

If your measured waist is 38", order a 36 so you land in the middle of the strap range.

If your measured waist is 37", order a 36 for the same centered fit.

Made in Scotland Traditional Kilts

Example:

If your measured waist is 38", order a 38. Made in Scotland kilts size in 0.5" increments, so you always order the size closest to your measurement.

Sizing is based on the middle strap hole. A size 36 adjusts up or down from that point. Measure your waist and order the closest size — there is no need to size down.

How to Measure for a Kilt Without Measuring the Waist

Use this when giving a gift or in any situation where you can’t measure the person directly.

How to Choose a Size Without a Waist Measurement

If you’re using a pair of pants to estimate the waist size, choose a kilt size that is about 3–4 inches larger than the jean size (some smaller sizes may be closer to 2 inches). Only use this method if you cannot measure the person directly.

Do not use this option if you are able to measure the waist yourself. It’s always better to measure correctly the first time.

If you cannot measure anything at all, you can make a general guess by going up two kilt sizes. For example, someone who wears a size 40 in jeans would likely need a size 44 kilt. This is only an estimate and does not replace measuring if it’s possible.
