The only way to get past this is to go custom made.
Four inches is rather less difference than most men have - I think the standard measurements differ by eight inches but it is a long time since I bought a commercial pattern.
- Just checked - waist is eight inches smaller than chest size and seven inches smaller than hip measurement in the standard charts for men.

Is that the standard for pant waist or kilt waist?
