    Hi all,

    Just weighing in on the original measuring technique post. I know that I've said this many times, but it's critically important to take the measurements the way your kiltmaker instructs. Some kiltmakers use the "kneel and measure" technique. And others don't. If you have a kiltmaker who doesn't ask for measurements made that way, and you choose to use a "kneel and measure" technique, you may very well wind up with a kilt that is too long or too short. So, moral of this story from both a customer's and a kiltmaker's perspective is "follow the instructions to the letter - don't improvise".
