    From personal experience, I would suggest going with a hip size that is 2 to 4" larger than your waist size, even if it's incorrect. I imagine what is happening, is that your gut (sorry if that's offensive, that's what mine is, a gut ) hangs out making it larger than your hip size. However, you want the kilt to hang nicely, so go with a larger number. Just make sure that you state that to your kilt maker.

    Proportionally I'd say think John Goodman from The Big Lebowski. I do like the room offered in the Rob Roy style Sporrans

    Yeah, I checked out the jhiggins.net site they have a lot of nice stuff. Are those acrylic hose as comfortable as the wool?

    yeah, a gut is a gut, I always say why settle for a six-pack when you can have a keg.

    Thank you everyone for the advice. Now I just have to pick something. choices choices.
