newbie from The Prairies

HI all. I'm new to this whole kilt process, but am enjoying it all. My Mum is right of the boat ( 55 years ago) from Kirkaldy and i'm only now daring to try out a kilt.
Ordered a Stillwater Kilt almost 2 weeks ago and am anxiously waiting for it to arrive. I'm wondering how the fit has been for most. I have read a few posts that it wrinkles easily and on 1 occasion the sizing was out to lunch.
Also, my girlfriend and I (ok, my Girlfriend...) are researching the kilt "building" process. Any advice on either subject would be appreciated.

Welcome to the rabble from Idaho! 2 weeks to receive a Stillwater kilt? Ahhhh Canada now that explains it. If you read and followed Jerry's instructions for taking kilt measurements - you'll be ok. If you goofed up DON"T take out the basting stitches and contact Jerry asap.

For kilt construction - please read Barb T and Elsie's book The Art of Kiltmaking. while its all about the hand sewn 8 yard traditional kilt, it will give you a solid foundation for any kiltmaking adventure.
