Welcome aboard.

I hesitated to respond since I've never had anything shipped to Qatar, but I don't reckon there are any kilt makers there anyway, so what the heck.

I would personally recommend knife pleats and a nominal 8 yard kilt since nothing--and I mean nothing--has quite the same swing and look as a full, 8 yard wool kilt. Having said that, the others still look good, but just food for thought. My favorite kilt is a five-yard kilt because it's a weathered tartan and it's a little shorter than the others, but it doesn't have quite the same swing.

I would definintely go with a quality kilt maker. Any of them can give you advice on the measuring, but you should get some help with it, especially with the length. And don't get the durn thing too long! At the top of the knee cap is the absolute lowest you'll want.

Any good kilt maker can help you with a charlie or other jacket. I don't consider a prince charlie "full dress." it's more like black tie, like a tux. For real full dress--if that's what you meant--you might want to consider a sheriffmuir doublet since it allows for a bit of expansion and contraction (if you know what I mean). When I gained weight, I couldn't wear my Montrose doublet without a girdle, and that's a pretty big investment to hang in the closet!

Whatever you decide, good luck. You'll enjoy the kilt and being kilted.

One other caveat: you might want to order a cromach or some other sort of walking stick to fend off the ladies. They tend to like men in kilts.
