I think it's not as much an issue with a wool kilt, as wool is a bit stretchier than canvas.

My second kilt was a cammo fabric, the hard, non-stretchy stuff the army uses. Added 3 inches (measure, sit, remeasure) and it fits just right sitting.
added three inches? where? in some random place? i do not understand...
