Get someone else to do the measuring and do it to the specifications of the kilt-maker/seller.

Good luck.
well, I have 4 kilts as my goal for this year (at least)

1. Black Watch Thrifty (SWK)
2. SWK standard Gordon
3. SWK heavy Black Watch
4. USA Kilts Semi Trad American Heritage

Since I already have 1 SWK that is a 40 and fits, 2 and 3 will be easy so I don't have to measure, I need to figure out what I need for 1, since I think I am right between sizes, and 4 is going to cost me, but Rocky surprised me with a email (while on vacation no less, and about 1 minute after I wrote it!) so I think 4 might be able to be in my hand by summer. I'd love to have it by my birthday, but that's only 6 weeks from now, even if I pay the rush fee, I don't think I'd have the money in time. Well, I would, but they would turn off my cable and electric. and it's cold out. Too cold to not have lights.
