I would just add that you want to measure the width of the kilt opened up and laid flat from the end of the cloth where one strap is attached, to the other end of the cloth where the higher of the two straps is attached.
That gives the waist size that the cloth portion of the kilt is built for, which isn't necessarily where the kilt fits now.
Because used kilts, especially Pipe Band kilts, oftentimes have had the buckles moved or longer straps attached to adjust the waist size.
