BMI--isn't that Broadcast Music, Inc. or something. Has to do with collecting royalties for music writers or something.

Brother KM, order a kilt that fits and wear it proudly. As stated above, it really does depend on what your weight is made of, and if you're comfortable, your wife is happy, and the kilt fits, screw it.

I've been up and down--especially up since the last few years restricted my former ways, but I prefer down, and i am slowly regaining my once-beautiful body. (That's a lie. I'll never have a beautiful body again if I ever did.) I do prefer being more slender, but that's for another tale. the fact is that when I was slender, running several miles a week and smoking, I had a massive heart attack. Weight ain't everything. I'm still overweigth, in the 68th percentile for my age and wieght, but I'll be lighter next year.

Hope you enjoy your kilt. That GL of Scotland tartan is a killer.

One last note: you'll never be sorry you ordered a custom fit kilt. Nothing, and I mean nothing looks better.
