Because of novices. When I was new and ordered my first wool kilt John Hart of Keltoi came back to me and said, based on my height my measurements looked wrong. He was of course correct as I did not correctly add 2" for the rise. Had he not asked the question I would have had a kilt that was the wrong size and been heartbroken, but fully to blame.
