Now I have read - but it was on X marks so it should be right - that there is no universal method for measuring the length of kilts, just as there is no hard and fast rule on how much material there might be, but that each maker should make it clear just how the measurements should be taken for their kilts.

On the order form it states the method to use pretty clearly, and that the length measured is from the buckles - ( I assume that is the waistline, the narrowest part of the kilt and the anatomy usually matching up ) and that the rise will be added onto that measurement. It does assume that you wish to wear your kilt with the selvage at the point marked on your leg - but that is something for you to decide.

If you were predisposed to wearing really wide belts, or were disproportionately long in the upper body then a rise wider than 2 inches might be a good idea, but I suspect that for the average sort a rise of 2 inches or even slightly less will be correct.
