utilikilt sizing

[Racer96]

The one thing that every kiltmaker (that I've had a chance to speak with) has said to me is, "Don't give me measurements that you use for any other kiltmaker, or for your pants/jeans. Give me the measurements the way that I want them."

That said, I wear a 36 in most jeans, and a 38 in most suit pants. I have 37, 38 and 39 utilikilts, and they all fit me. The 37 fits a bit on the snug side, the 39 fits a bit on the loose side, but they're all wearable.

Of course, that's just for me, I've heard some people that can't feel comfortable going up or down one size.

Sorry to hear about your doubly bad evening (losing your luggage and getting the wrong size UK.) Hope they both get to you quickly!

The problem in this case is probably UK has figured out the "average" size for hips, and on most guys it works. You obviously have big hips, so probably need a larger size UK. However, they are not perfect either, measure the waist of the UK you got, and make sure it is what your ordered.
