UKs and fluctuating waistline?

[Robin]

except the width of the belt loops do cause me trouble.

You don't have to use the belt loops...some say they're sporran strap loops anyway

My UK arrived and I'm thrilled. I think in my present size, I should be wearing a 38" for perfect fit, but the 37" fits and it gives me added incentive to start the slimming.

As for the length, I've seen quite a few methods for measuring and they all seem overly complicated. I just put on a pair of pants that sat on my waist where I wanted my kilt to sit, marked the leg where I wanted it to hang, then measured from the top to the mark with a tape measure. It was easy and got me a flawless measurement. I'm sure why even UK advocates kneeling, finding a friend or just guessing.

You can get kilt buckle extensions, cost about £2.50 (about $5??)
