Well, I ordered my first kilt from Celtic Croft - great people and customer service. I had one problem though - IT WAS TOO BIG!!

The problem wasn't theirs - it was mine. I didn't get good measurements. For those who haven't ordered a kilt yet please be aware of this.

Yesterday I made steps to prevent this in the future. I called a few tuxedo shops until I found one that has experience measuring for kilts. I went there after work and got 7 measurements that will work for me what ever kilt i decide to get:
  • Waist at traditional pants (for lower waist kilts).
  • Length from lower waist to mid-knee.
  • Waist at the naval (for mid level).
  • Length from naval waist to mid-knee.
  • Waist above the naval (for higher level).
  • Length from upper waist to mid knee.
  • Hips.
These measurements were a little different than I expected, but I have them written down and save. I am ready for the next kilt order. I am going to contact Celtic Croft tomorrow on my day off to see if they can make an exchange since it was a stock item.

If there are any other issues to be warry of please post up here - I could use the help.

Thanks all!!
