I've walked five miles plus everyday as a land surveyor and at 58 years old still have a 32 waist but measured 39 in my hips when ordering my kilt. I got an email from Atlanta Kilts Ga."are you sure you measured correctly?" I will be sending my first photos for the August challenge in a few days. I may have to look to the archives on altering kilts in "X-marks" later as my girth expands when my age lengthens. Personal stats are 6 foot tall and 155 lbs. As my wife says, "a tall drink of water."
