And finally measure how much Rise the wearer wishes there to be above the top straps.
It's great to hear you say that, and to explain the steps so clearly!

That's another aspect to gents around here wearing their kilts too low- the fell is too low, curving back inwards under their buttocks!

For the pleats to hang right and swing right the fell has to cut across at exactly the right place.
