When you are a 48 w and 48 hips, it doesn't mean you are "straight down". Think of it like 2 tires stacked on top of each other, but NOT QUITE straight. Even though the hips/waist measure the same, the butt still sticks out a bit. The way to combat this issue is to taper a few pleats even though the "math" tells you not to. This gives your "girth" somewhere to shift during times when you sit down/bend over.

The Philabeg model naturally sits well on your hips. MOST times this means under your gut (for the big boned guys). Some like to wear it on the belly button, but when you put your sporran on, it can do crazy things to the front apron.

If you'd like me to try to fix the hips (taper them a bit more) or re-do the front apron so it doesn't curl, let me know and I'd gladly fix it for you.
If I sent it off, I would have nothing to wear. I am that dedicated now. I honestly got rid of all my pants. I have two pairs of sweat pants that I wear around the house.

Rocky, I am paying off the plastic as fast as I can. Should be ordering kilt number two very soon. We'll see then, if I can get something done with the philabeg.
