That's my $.02...

I'm stepping off the soap box now.

Thanks, Rocky. The MacPherson hunting you made for me is incredible and sealed the deal for me and kilts. After my foray with B&S (tartan choice!) I'll be back in touch with you for my NEXT next kilt. ;)
I'll ring up Canada when I get home this afternoon.

The woman I spoke with at Burnett's & Struth was very patient and helpful. I went with their shortest rise (1.5") and used the same measurements Rocky used to make my USAK casual. And best of all, my kilt should be completed in 3-4 weeks!
Now to practice my surprised face for when it appears in the mail. "No, dear...I haven't the slightest idea where this lovely kilt came from!"

I'm having a kilt made, currently, at Fallwaterkilts, by Wallace Catanach, and he's taking my length measurement from the navel and adding 2" for the rise. Hope this helps. Cheers!
