I'm sure this has happened to most people...

My first kilts from a new kiltmaker have sometimes been off in waist or length. Once I have the first kilt then its easy to adjust from there....that's ordering on line of course, not being measured by the kiltmaker.

I haven't had any problems. When ordering online for casual kilts I've meticulously followed the website's measuring instructions & generally they recommend having someone else do the measuring rather than yourself. It's worked for me.

For my first "real" kilt, I went to our local kilt emporium (Arizona Kilts) & got fitted by someone knowledge about such stuff. Once I got dependable & accurate measurements for my first kilt, it's made it real easy to order others.
