    Jimmy,

    Yeah, I was wondering about the traditional (sitting up at the navel) versus the casual (sitting down on the hips - or "fashion waist".) Do you know if guys have problems with their kilts slipping off of their "Molson Muscle"? In the past, when I've had to wear tuxedo pants (up at the navel) I have the worst time keeping them up. They tend to fall down to my hips, and thus almost off. It could just be because tuxedo pants are horrible to wear and keep adjusted correctly (I can never seem to get them snug enough) and made of slick wool.

    I think I might try to lose more weight before I buy the kilt, but between work-out time and kilt-making time, it could be next Christmas before I get it.

    Rufus

    [QUOTE=Rufus]Jimmy,


    I think I might try to lose more weight before I buy the kilt, but between work-out time and kilt-making time, it could be next Christmas before I get it.

    Beware ! When I bought my first kilt I ordered it in a 46 inch waist THEN went on a diet. I went down to a 40inch waist and traded the kilt in for a smaller one. I couldn't keep the diets up (I like my food and drink too much and life's too short not to be enjoyed) and soon had to trade this kilt in for a bigger version (44inch waist). I've just celebrated my 50th birthday and bought myself a couple of new kilts, both 46inch waisted. This seems to be my natural waist size, and apart from costing me a lot of money the most annoying thing is that my original kilt would still fit me fine. Diets are O.K. if you can stick to them !
    The Kilt is my delight !

    I have a large belly as well.. I have a traditional / high wasted kilt.. Just keep the straps snug and you won't have any trouble.. A belt adds a little insurance..

    I have a hard time with my sporran strap. I have to make sure it's snug as well or it falls below my belly and puckers the kilt!! I need to get a set of sporran hangers, which will fix the problem!
