The Saltire Kilt

[Chef]

I had to wait almost twelve weeks for mine to come through which, in a way, indicates that it was made to measure, and it does fit very well (or it did before I put on a lot of weight in recent months!!). On the other hand, the only measurements I was asked to select from drop-down menus - it was an on-line purchase - were for my waist and the length required, which suggests these are off-the rack kilts.

Either way, I am perfectly satisfied with my Saltire tartan kilt - and cannot wait to lose some inches so that I might wear it again!!

It was those drop down menus that concerned me. Having never had an off the rack kilt I have no idea what to expect as far as two measurement fit. What is the standard difference between the waist and the hip measurement on an off the rack kilt? I would hate to spend that money on a kilt that didn't fit.

baith!

ma local (Andersons Kilts) can make a Saltire tae fit...

and they alsa have a few aff the peg...

But like Hamish said they only ask for two measurements. I think this is probably because they have to build the kilt around the special pleating necessary. so it would seems like there would need to be a standard waist to hip measurement so as not to screw that up. I don't know enough about kilt construction so maybe those that do could add an opinion.

Thanks all
