    Hey Bill,

    Find a UK waist size you like and hope they are consistant with future purchases. Most of my UKs are waist size 40, but as they got tight and the front got that funny angle I moved up to 41 and 42s...but I can still wear my 40s...so don't think you'll have any problem. Obviously, when I'm fatter the larger sizes are more comfortable.

    I've chosen to wash my UKs in cold water only and hang dry so they don't shrink up on me.

    Course another solution is to get you a leather UK with the corset lacing, gives you a wide range adjustment to your waist size.

    Wizard,
    FYI: I am stealing this line:

    "I wear the kilt because Swish + Swagger = Swoon"

    Thanks in advance

    My story is a bit different - I wear a 34 usually, measured by UK's instructions and ordered a 38 - too big. Used the dummy-sizing method, ordered a 36, and they fit great.

    Apparently I've got one of the oddest body shapes out there, my natural waist, along with my UK size, as well as my p@nts size are all the exact same measurement, 32"
