A word of caution about the measurements on B&S kilts

I purchased a casual in the Drummond of Perth modern tartan from them a year or two back. I remember being a bit confused by the measurement section of their website. I'm not a tall guy (5'7"), and I found that the measurement for length on their website didn't go as short as I needed it to, plus they add a rise on top of the length. I called and gave them the length of the kilt I wanted from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the apron, which included the rise. I got an email confirmation in which they added a 2" rise to the measurement I provided, so I got back in touch with them and had them change the measurement, which they then confirmed.

When I got the kilt, a 2" rise had been added and it was too long. I mention this because I've spoken with others on the forum who've had the same measuring issue with B&S.

That said, B&S were very accommodating in correcting the error, and agreed to make me another kilt to the correct length, which I've enjoyed.

I haven't ordered another from them since, and they may well have changed the way measurements are input on their website, but I wanted to mention it... Nothing worse than jonesing for a new kilt only to have it be too long when it arrives!
