I'm worried about the kilt staying up, and not always sliding down on me, like my trousers do. I know that the "casual" kilt would fit better, because I'd wear it on my hips, and thus under my gut, but I really want a traditional one.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Rufus,

45 inches around your natural waist is not that big actually and a traditionally cut kilt should look fine provided that you don't let it slide below your natural waist.

P.S. - I like your avatar - nice to see another Welshman in the group!
