I've begun to see that different kilts handle the butt vs. waist measurements differently (better?) Most contemporary kilt manufacturers sell (off the peg) kilts with only waist and length measurements. In some models, when there is sufficient amount of fabric and fullness built in, a large butted guy is OK. There is still that problem of rear hem creep when he sits down, but overall the apron falls nicely and the front hem stays near the knee. Other manufactures, seems to build a less full kilt and the extra girth around the guy's hips (especially when he sits and the butt spreads), takes up more of the kilts fabric, requiring knees to be kept together at all times and the front hem to ride up into the lap.

I'm sure other guys have encountered this situation. We're not all built alike and some guys carry their weight on their hips and not around the waist (which is more healthful), but that can least to mis-fitting kilts unless the manufacturer takes this third measurement into consideration. I wonder what suggestions you can offer.
