If you are larger than this please contact us for pricing on larger kilts. Also, If your waist size is close to one of these limits, consider the next size larger if you want deeper pleats or pleats closer together. For example:
If you have a 34 inch waist, a 4 yd greatkilt will have pleats 1.5 - 2 inches wide and 3-4 inches deep. A 5 yd greatkilt will have pleats approximately 1 inch wide and 3-4 inches deep or 1.5 - 2 inches wide and 6-8 inches deep. In this example a 6 yd greatkilt would be overkill with a 34 inch waist, but it would have pleats about 1 inch wide and 6-8 inches deep.
4 yds (fits up to a 34in waist)
5 yds (fits up to a 44in waist)
6 yds (fits up to a 50in waist)

With that information it would very much depend on what look you want and if you intend (tho it often happens unintentionally) to "grow". I personally would probably go with the 5 yard.

Thank you for your info on the pleating sizes Elizabeth. I knew about their recommendation. I was just wanting some more feedback from others who have had great kilts in about my size and thought 4 yards wasn't enough, or 5 yards was too much. The videos I'v seen: everyone says 4-5 yards. I'll call the shop, but i'm thinking I'll go with the 5 yard. If it's too much, I could cut some off and use that to have a sash for my non-great kilt (I know there is a specific name, but it escapes me right now).
