"Custom" may have overstated it, but what I did was I told the folks at Sport Kilt by email that I'd tried on an L and an XL and found that the waist on the L fit just fine but my bum made the pleats all ruffly in back, whereas the waist on the XL was hopelessly too large but beneath that the rest of the kilt fit fine. They told me they could do up an XL with a bit of a shorter waist.

Don't have pics of me in it yet, but here are pics of the front and back of the kilt on a hanger. Looking more closely, I see it's not really pleated to the sett, but rather it's pleated to a repeating pattern of double-stripe, brown-stripe, thick-stripe, brown-stripe that preserves the look of the sett as far as the bright stripes and the brown stripes are concerned, but the bigger blue and green stripes are all mixed up. Still more regular pleating than I'd expected.





I chose the Hawaiian tartan in part because I love the colors and the pattern and in part because my wife and I are both Maui junkies (and I'm a Tiki aficionado and ukulele player). We're trying to figure out a way to get there full time before we retire.
