size

[mcnice]

i just ordered an original from utilikilts, but i m worrying about its size. as said on their page one should measure with its levi´s on it, but in a way why shouldn´t i take the measurements with a simple shirt. i m afraid of getting the kilt to large, what as i knew isn´t a big deal because of the belt worn with, but i d like to wear the kilt tighter.
has anybody experience and can tell me how those kilts are cutted? should i really keep my measurement on the large side?
thx

McNice... the UtiliKilts are actually sewn-up a little bigger than what you measure. Mostly, that's because they will shrink (a little) with washings and wear.

MY advise is to just measure around your waist WITHOUT jeans, if you like it a little tighter. Don't suck-in your gut! Measure right where you're gonig to wear the kilt (usually where the belt is on your jeans). When you order from them, make sure to pick the right size, and don't try to get it smaller. Let your measuring, and their experience be the guide.

thanks for your helpful reply. i just was worrying because in their page they said one shoul mesure absolutely with jeans on. even if the kilts come a bit bigger i ll stay on the shorter side.
