The kilt looks fine... and no, there are no hip measurement instructions on AmeriKilts since they're more of an "A-Frame" hang.

There is one HUGE difference between the tartans and the neo-American solid kilts... and that's what to wear with it. Tartans can take just about anything and look GREAT (taking in account that a Nascar t-shirt and UGGS would look ridiculous). With the neo-American solids, you need to "toughen them up" for them to really appear NOT to be the "S word". That's why AmeriKilt has all the snaps and hardware. Some call them "butch, while others call them "tough". Wear a Powerpuff girls t-shirt and sandals and they're "butch". Wear a Dropkick Murphys shirt and Doc Martins and they're tough.

YES, I know that there are other solids! YES, they can look great with anything. We're specifically talking about the AmeriKilts and what they're intended for. Look at Mike's pictures and the logo. That's not an invitation to wear these things to the a Liza Minelli retrospective in the artsy part of town.
