Thanks for any tips.

Ron, Here are my tips ( Note, except for 4 kilts my (3 SWK's are also high waisted), all of mine are "REGIMENTALS" (4 incl.1 WPG)
1. Take your measurements & contact WPG. Give thenm the info & ask for advise.
2. Measure
A. Waist - just @ lowest rib. (about 1-1/2" aboe navel.)
B. Measure "drop" - from the above (should be about 1-1/2" longer than norm.) NOTE- this will be @ top of knee,but if you want mid knee, tell them. C. Measure "breach" ( your BUTT)
