Arrived today!
Now I probably should have pressed the shipping out of it, but I put it on as soon as I could get my suit off today, and haven't taken it off since.
This Freedom kilt is cut to fit where ordinary trousers would ride and accomodates ordinary belts only, per the spec. It fits the most like trousers than any of the other casual kilts I have. After having to hike up all my other kilts (including the UKs), it took me a few minutes to figure this out. The length somehow turned out perfect, despite my insecurities about taking my own measurements. Steve's online measuring instructions are spot on.
This kilt also comes with a slight adjustment for the natural tilt of the hips, resulting in a beautifully level bottom edge. I don't recall if I actually specified this, but it's perfect. How did you know, Steve?
This is a beautiful kilt, the most like the traditionals that I now have and still able to go in the wash. The color is fantastic, and now I can pull a whole mess o' coordinating shirts out of my closet that have been mothballed (well, not literally), since I gave up pants* after hours.
I can tell already it will take a favored position over my UKs.
Thanks, Steve!
Regards,
Rex in Cincinnati
