Hi everybody: Just need a little reassurance (or correction, as appropriate). Most of my lodge are getting kilts made from a custom tartan being woven for us at the moment. One member in particular has a pronounced beer gut, but is trim and fit in every other respect (he's a copper, after all). At his navel (that is, over the beer gut) I got 46", and 46" for the seat at widest. He normally wears a size 40 in trousers (midnight blue police issue) and has protested my 46" waist measurement. I've never seen him in uniform, but suspect he wears his trousers at the ledge of the hip, rather than at his "empire waist." So, did I measure him in the correct spot, or is there a special way to measure beerguts?? Mark O - Ohio
