The US Postal service delivers right to your door. Only McMurdo travels like that (10 hours, FGS!) to pick up a kilt.

The main thing is to follow your kiltmaker's measuring instructions exactly,and don't try to second-guess the tape. You might think you have a 36 waist becasue that is the number on the label of the pants you wear, but designers these days use a longer inch than the Bureau of Weights and Measures does.

For length, if you can't find someone to measure for you, try this:

Make a mark at the place where you measure your waist. Tie a string where you want the bottom of the kilt to fall around your knee. Pull the tape under the string (low number first) and up to the mark on your belly, standing fully erect. let the tap go slack and read what it says at the string. This will be the correct drop. the kiltmaker adds a rise of 2 inches or more (2 is standard, more is customer request).

I've had good results with this method.
