Fat Man and the Kilt at my Waist

Check the Freedom Kilt site for instructions on measuring for that particular kilt. The section on "SLOPE" is what you are looking for.

I too am a "Man of Substance" (5' 11" 340 lbs).

Currently my only kilt is a SWK Thrifty, a great starter kilt to see if you'll like wearing a kilt. Now that I know I do, I am chomping at the bit to get one which I can wear at the "proper" height. I have found in my experiments that the kilt looks much much better when worn at the traditional level, it's just that by then it's too short for me to be comfortable with.

I would recommend that you cover your substance and enjoy a traditional kilt.

Cheers,

I will have to emphasize what has already been spoken here. Do NOT wear the kilt so that it's under your belly. In my opinion that would just look awful, just as it does with pants. Wearing the kilt at the traditional height makes the bigger gents look so much better.

So, unless you are extremely fond of your gut and want to display it for all to see, wear the kilt higher.
