 Measurements for your Kilt
To
correctly make you kilt, I will need the following information from you:
-
Your
waist measurement, taken at your natural waist (just above your naval), snug
-
Your
hip measurement, taken at the widest part of your seat, loose
-
The
length of your kilt. Have someone else measure down the side of your hip from
about two inches above your natural waist down to the top of your
kneecap (if you want a higher rise than two inches, please specify this when
you order your kilt). You may add or subtract about an inch, if you prefer a
longer or shorter kilt, but stay within this range.
-
Double
take all measurements. I will make your kilt made to the measurements you
provide. We cannot be responsible if the measurements you give us are not
correct.
-
Give
your height and weight. This helps in double-checking your measurements.
If you can make it to the Scottish
Tartans Museum, or can find me at a Highland Games or other Scottish
festival in the south east, I will be glad to measure you myself. But
there really is no secret in taking these measurements. You should not
feel intimidated. Just double check yourself, and if you have questions,
contact me.
