    Just the same I think I will be satisfied... quality does not dissapoint.
    You can get a quality kilt in lesser yardage that sits at your natural waist the way a traditional kilt sits. I have a "Casual" kilt from Burnetts and Struth in Barrie Ont. and it sits at the natural waist the big difference is that it is made of 5 yards not 8 yards so not as many pleats and not quite as deep. The same can be said of my XMarkstheScot tartan from Canadian Casual Kilts it's a 5 yard kilt but sits at my natural waist not my jean waist.

    See this I did not know.... but I am glad I do. I am thinking that i could have a 5 yard down in either black watch or Gunn tartan (they are very similar) would think I'd like if it sat at my natural waist.
