Sort of. Skinny people can wear them up higher with little worry. Solid folk should measure down around their hips to make sure they get a kilt that is wide enough, and use this as their waist size measurement. Cause if you have say, a 40 inch waist and 48 inch hips, there is going to be a problem. The solution is, of course, to measure around your hips, and use the 48 inch measurement as the waist size selected when you purchase. And then, wear it low.

Does this help at all?
