And he also fixes the left buckle on the inside of the kilt, so having no need for the buttonhole! Perhaps that could be mentioned as an alternative.

What I find irritating is having to jump between inches in the book and the metric measures in which I work! Am I just a lone European with funny units?

Yesterday I bought the cloth, a wool twill in solid green/brown! Looks good feels good, came at a good price. In May I will begin work, having the livingroom floor to my self, wife and children will be gone!
One of us could mail you a tape measure with feet, inches and yards. A 120" tape can be had for about 7.57 Deutsche Marks or 3.87 Euros plus shipping.

Postage would probably cost more than the tape measure, but it would be less skull sweat for you.

Drop me a PM if you want me to send you a tape.
