How Do I Determine What Size Kilt To Buy?

I can attest to that. My hip measurement is 9 inches larger than my waist because of weight lifting. It causes the pleats to pucker out at the end of the fell. You can live with it if it is 1 or 2 inches small, but 5 or 6 inches would be too much.

Yeah, I think I'm definitely going to have to get a customized kilt
