And what we're trying to say is that measuring the kilt itself does _not_ necessarily give a measurement that is the same # of inches that you would get if you measured yourself with a tape measure. It would be like taking a sports coat, laying it out flat, and measuring the distance around the chest. That won't give you a "42" if you wear a 42.
Just follow the instructions for measuring that the vendor gives you.
And, if you hate tape measures, just get a piece of string, wrap it around yourself at the right place, mark it, and use a yard stick to measure the string.
