Hello All,

I am employed at a US Irish Pub and in anticipation of the upcoming warmth of Spring and Summer, am looking into purchasing a kilt to add to my workplace attire. After looking into several "modern kilt" suppliers and manufacturers, I am leaning toward AmeriKilt as a winning mix of style, function, and price.

I would be interested in getting a belt to pair with the kilt, but was unsure of which size to buy. When following the kilt sizing instructions on the site, I measure in at roughly a 36-inch true waist size. I know that the general rule of thumb with buying belts - at least as far as traditional pant belts are concerned - is to size up from your waist size. Does this apply to the AmeriKilt belts, as well, or would I want to select the same size as my kilt measurement? I like to have a little leeway with my belts to move up or down a few holes, if this helps describe the fit I am looking for. I tried emailing AmeriKilts directly for some help, but it has now been over a week with no response; as such, I turn to you all for your assistance and expertise.

Any information on AmeriKilts, their sizing, and general information or reviews would be very much appreciated. If there's anyone who would like to try to last-second sway me toward another brand, this is your chance!

Thanks in advance, guys.
