well, I wear a 36 pant... as previously mentioned, it lies... the problem with me is my belly... I have a 42-43 pant line, (just measured). so I don't know if I would be able to squeeze into a 35-37.

Casey Casey Casey,
You're right, you GOTTA ignore the label on your pants...its bogus - you'll see if you measure them. That's why Utilikilts asks us to measure for reality like you've done.
Stay with your real measurements (preferrably taken by someone else) and you'll be fine with your UK's.
Its hard to swallow the truth of the tape, but we just GOTTA ignore the pant sizing...they lie.

I go with an honest measurement about an inch or so below my belly button. That's about where I like my UK to sit.

Even if mine won't fit, it can't hurt to get measured by someone who is used to fitting UK's on others. And with the variation in sizes I have, I can actually show you the options from hip to waist in where you like to wear it.

I’ll wear my Utilikilts on the hips. My pant size is 36” and that used to equal a UK 36” perfectly, but my last one is somewhat different constructed. You no longer need a belt, but contrary to the old ones this is rather snug. If that is norm now, my advice is that you order it your pant size plus one inch and detract 1½ inch from your normal kilt length.

Having sized people for UKs (though not as many as Arrogcow) I can say its the rare man who can wear his pants size as his UK size (although I have seen it.) At least two sizes up or more is the norm (mine are three sizes up).
As to where to wear it, I find that if I try wearing one at the navel, it slides down to my hips (where it was designed to be worn).
Sizing your first UK can be tricky, so I would definitely take up Aarogcow's offer of assistance.
Best regards,

Why not go to the Utilikilt website and follow their instructions? Or call and ask?
Guarantee, ordering a UK in your pant waist size is gonna be too small for sure...way too small...unless you've happened upon some unique honestly sized pant maker...
Only way I'd trust using pants as an indicator is taking a pair of pants that fit well and that you wear low, then measuring them. I doubt the result will match the labeled size.
Don't let your expectations create a problem. Be brave, follow instructions from the manufacturer.
