Now that's funny!

And it could have gone the other way. Imagine what would have happened if the elevator got stuck and she thought you were coming on to her!!!!

I have one thing to say to that:

Most off-the-rack dealers have some sort of preset ration that all their kilts use. The one I have seen a lot is hips 4" bigger than the waist. If the difference is any greater than this, the kilt will definitely pull up in the back because the material just has more distance to cover.:rolleyes:

The only way to get past this is to go custom made.

That is what is great about the SWK economy you can sew the butt for your junk yourself.

Four inches is rather less difference than most men have - I think the standard measurements differ by eight inches but it is a long time since I bought a commercial pattern.

- Just checked - waist is eight inches smaller than chest size and seven inches smaller than hip measurement in the standard charts for men.

Well, that ain't me, my waiste is only 2 inches smaller than the hip. I'm built like a barrel.

Is that the standard for pant waist or kilt waist?
