Size?

**sharpdressedscot** · 18th April 08, 06:47 AM

I'm looking at USA Kilts and the casuals go down to 32 and the semi's go down to 36, will they both fit a 30 inch waist (me

)?

Also, what's the difference between the casual and the semi-trads? Weight? Fabric? texture?!

If you check on the site they have the features of both, as far as fitting a 30" waist are you talking about "True Waist" where the semi-trad is worn or are you talking waist where your pants would be worn, either way the best thing would be to talk to Rocky about it, I would think.

I am sure Rocky can make you a kilt regardless of your waist size. If your size isn't listed on the website, email Rocky or give him a call on the phone to place your order.

McMurdo is correct. Do NOT go by your pants size. Measure using a tape measure and follow the measuring instructions on the USA Kilts website.

Here is a quick comparison of USAK’s kilts:

USAK Casual
* Made of 4 to 5 yards of 11 oz. washable PV material from Marton Mills.
* Perma-pleating, and pleats sewn down at the fell.
* Hand pleated to sett or stripe.
* Velcro fastening system.
* Intended to be worn (low) on the hips, but can be worn higher (if ordered longer).
* Tapered front apron. Three-quarter width under-apron.
* No waist band, but material folded over at the top.
* Three belt loops intended for a 1.5-inch wide belt are standard, but wider belt loops provided when requested.
* No lining.
* Machine sewn.

USAK Semi-Traditional
* Made of 7 to 8 yards of 11 oz. washable PV material from Marton Mills.
* Pleats sewn down at the fell.
* Hand pleated to sett or stripe.
* Three straps and buckles for fastening.
* Intended to be worn (high) on the waist like a traditional kilt.
* Tapered front apron. Full width under-apron.
* Traditional waist band.
* Two belt loops for a standard kilt belt.
* No lining.
* Machine sewn.

I think you're looking at the HIP SIZE (not waist) in the dropdown menu... that's not the size we go to... it's the price ranges for the different sizes.

Most of our kilts are custom made... you give us the measurements and we make the kilt to fit you (no matter WHAT the size).

We've made kilt for Premature babies (smallest was 11" waist) and for very "hulking men" (biggest was 74"), so I'm positive we can make a kilt for pretty much anyone.
