    There is definately nothing to compare to a kilt that is made to your measurements for fit and comfort. I'm sure you'll be pleased with your new kilt, Rocky does a wonderful job.

    I don't have this problem as my waist is about the same as my hip. I remember when I bought my first kilt over the phone. The kiltmaker only wanted my waist measurement as he said the seat measurement will be four inches larger, so I've always used this as a golden rule. However, when I was measured for a kilt at Houston's of Paisley the lady measuring me said "We always like to give a bit extra on the hip as it's more comfortable for the customer when they sit down".
    The Kilt is my delight !
