For my first "real" wool kilt I went to the local Scottish shop to get fitted. I wanted to make sure it would fit correctly. They must have expected me to gain a lot of weight. The kilt that I got ten weeks later could slide right off over my hips. (at least that was easier to fix than the other guy who picked up his kilt the same day. Some one apparently expected him to grow five inches in height!) Not only did the kilt not fit but they clerk just shrugged and said I must have lost weight, it wasn't their responsibility. The silver linning though is the fact that they sent me to a local gal who refitted the kilt to me and did such a good job that she has made two more excellent kilts for me.
