Don't forget that with a kiltbelt, you may have a bit more girth in the waist from closures for the kilt. Buckles add a bit of size, so does velcro. Belts are usually the same as waist size, but not usually the same as jean size.If you are ordering a belt to go over your kilt, get the kilt first, measure the area where you want the belt to go, than order the belt.
