The finest of Scottish tailoring, I'm sure. 
Unfortunately, most makers of kilt jackets don't take the pear or barrel shape into account, even in the larger sizes. Which isn't to say you are that shape, but I am the latter, and I had a terrible time finding an argyle that fit.
I have a Higgins kilt from the mid-90s, so my information isn't very timely, but I've been very happy with it. It was my band kilt, and until I save the pennies for a new clan kilt, is the one I wear.
