I'm a fat dude so I tend to wear them low anyway, I just made a huge gaffe when ordering the UK. what a waste! I'd need to lose some major weight for that kilt to ever fit.

UK doesn't take a seat size either, only waist and length.

huh, I thought when I ordered it they asked for a seat size. This was some time ago, so perhaps I am mistaken, I just know that when I got it, the waist fit fine but the butt was unacceptably tight...like girl pants tight.

Don't know if this helps.

I have four AmeriKilts. They all have a two and one half inch wide waistband, then the pleats are sewn down for 4" below the bottom of the waist band. They do flare out and the hem is definately wider than the waist.

Some old pics in my gallery but don't know if they'll help much.

The obvious solution is to e-mail Michael at Amerikilt (info on their website) and ask what their typical hip measurement runs for your waist size kilt. I have two AKs, am normal build, and their standard size fits very well. If your hips to waist sizing normally fits a pair of jeans comfortably, you will probably not have any trouble with Amerikilt's fit.
