Kilt question

[Tobus]

One thing I think bears repeating in no uncertain terms: a good kilt is only as good as the measurements it was built to. Even the best kiltmaker in the world can't make you a well-fitting kilt if the measurements you send don't align with the way they intend it to fit. Every kiltmaker has slightly different instructions or descriptions. If they can't measure you in person, it's best to make sure you're measuring per their instructions to the tee. Even something as minor as how tight you pull the tape around you can make a huge difference in how your kilt fits, hangs, etc.

I just say this because many of the comments in the above posts are describing fit issues, not necessarily construction quality issues. A kilt can be the best quality in the world and still not hang right if your measurements weren't adequate.

And, of course, it bears saying that even though a kilt is designed to have some adjustment in the buckles/straps, it's not going to hang the same at all of those adjustments. One of the downsides of ordering a bespoke kilt is that the wait time is so long, you could gain or lose weight in the meantime. And over the decades you'll be wearing it too. If your body shape changes, your perfectly-fitted kilt is going to start to hang funny. It doesn't necessarily mean it wasn't a quality kilt.
