Importance of waist sizes in Utilikilts

Wizard,
FYI: I am stealing this line:

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

Thanks in advance

I understand the difference between trouser size and kilt size.

Allow me to rephrase: I now wear a size 34 UK. Could I wear a size 35 UK without it feeling baggy or otherwise too oversized for me, and/or would someone looking at it be able to determine that I'm wearing one size larger than I should be?

my first UK was an Original at 41 inches. but i wear jeans of 36 or 38. but i measured and re-measured and RE-measured. i kept getting 41". so i thought OK, it must be right. well, as it turns out, 41" was too big, but not by much. It bunches up regardless of the "floating" waist closure. i just ordered my 2nd UK. Also an Original (this one has the snaps at the waist). This time i got a 40". It fits perfect. It is amazing the difference one inch makes.

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"
