One thing I've found (just me!!) is that the first kilt I order from a kiltmaker is a bit off in measurements some way or another...waist or length. Even though we all use the same measuring tapes and follow the kiltmaker's measuring instructions (we think) something is too big or too small or too short or too long.

Once that first kilt is in we adjust the measurements for the second, third, et.al. kilts and we're right on after that.

But that's per kiltmaker. So, now you're set with B&S.

Just how it goes. Not your fault, not their fault.

Enjoy the next kilt(s) from them.
