Welcome! I wouldn't worry at all about ordering on-line, I do not live near a kilt maker and I have been able to obtain great fitting kilts. Every site that I have been on, the kilt maker has diagrams and/or descriptions about where the measurements should be taken from. If I had any questions I would just call or e-mail the kilt maker.

Regarding on where to by your kilt, I would not hesitate to buy any kilt from the makers on this forum. Investigating and deciding on which kilt to purchase is always an exciting experience for me and I hope you enjoy it too.

I do believe that the tartan is the Modern MacGregor.
