But I don't actually look "that big"

I am a normal fellow... Honest. I have been wearing my pants in the upper 30s for quite some time now. I am not that tall and I really don't look that big. I am the victim here, I have been lied to by those trouser peddling devils. The bad part is, when I have told a few friends about the absurd measurement, nobody believes me. I think, but I am not sure, it is because I am wide. Not so much fat as wide. I fill out a doorway when I stand in it. Everything about me is large. I wear a size 13 to 15 ring... But my fingers are not fat. I have huge feet. Huge wide feet. I am built like a troll or an ogre. I am a great big tall man squashed down into a small body. My shoulders are nearly a full yard wide.

JohnAllen has seen me is person... I wonder what he thinks... If you read this JohnAllen, let me know.

Not a fan of the Wallace for some reason.

Is there a tartan suitable for trolls or ogres?

EDIT.

Remeasured. Stripped naked. (Don't faint ladies.) Measurments came out a bit different with out boxer shorts and sweat pants bunched around waste. Running tape measure around your pants like many folks say to do is not so great of an idea.

Around belly button. 48. Place where my pants actually sit... 46. Hips. 48. Can you wear a kilt where you pants usually hang from? Rocky, any "beer gut cuts?" I don't drink beer... Not in a long long time. While I could wear a kilt sitting on my navel, I think it would just slide downward. So wearing a size 36 to 38 pants actually means having a 46 to 48 inch waist?
