Hello, I'm new to this kilt thing, and thought this would be a good place to talk with some people that are more familiar with this. I don't yet own a kilt, but am looking for one now. Thinking about getting one from stillwater, I've read good things here. I'm just a bit worried about sizing. my waist seems to fluctuate quite a bit, and I don't want to spend $150 on a wool kilt, and have it not fit or run into problems with alteration. When I measure my waist, how snug should the tape be. I Get anywhere from 36.5" to 39 if I don't tighten the tape at all, and I completely relax my stomache, but I normaly tend to suck in my gut a little . and in the morning I'm around 36.5". I'm at a loss as to what size I should get. does wool tend to shrink or stretch over time? Should I get a 38" and just have it brought in, or would a 36" open far enough on the largest strap setting. I spoke with someone at stillwater through email, but though they tried to help, I still am not sure. Any help please, I'm dying to get one of these, I think they look amazing, and can only imagine the comfort far exceeds the look. thanks guys. I look forward to my new found obsession.
