[title style=”center” text=”KILT Measuring Guide”]
1. WAIST
Decide where you’d like to wear your kilt. You can wear it up at your natural waist, which is a wee bit above your belly button, and higher than guys tend to wear their pants nowadays. You can also wear your kilt lower, closer to the hips like your jeans or shorts. It’s up to you and what you find most comfortable. Having said that, if you’re a Gentleman of Substance I generally suggest wearing your kilt higher up. It’s much more flattering than having the waistband under your stomach, and the front of the kilt will hang nicely.
Alright then! Take your measuring tape and run it around yourself where you want the top of your kilt to sit. Do pull it just slightly snug. Not tight, just snug. Stand straight and let things fall where they may. No sucking in or pushing out of the gut.
2. HIP
Measure loosely around the widest part of your hip. How do you know where the widest part is? Stand with your back to a wall and slowly back up. The bit that touches the wall first is where you want your Trusty Assistant to measure.
3. FELL MEASUREMENT ( Distance between Waist and Hip)
Run the tape from where you measured your waist to where you measured your hip. The pleats will be sewn down along the fell, which is part of what gives a kilt it’s unique swish and swing when you move.
4. Waist Size
To measure waist size for the jacket wrap the tape around the widest part of your stomach, this is usually across belly-button. Do not breathe in or out, keeping yourself normal & relax take waist measurement.
5. Sleeve Length
To measure Sleeve length put one end of the measuring tape at upper shoulder edge where shoulder meets the arm, run the tape along outside of your arm down
to the wrist. make sure that arm is bent to ensure the proper movement
6. Back Length
Back length is the measurement from the base of center Back Neck Point or cervical to the natural waistline level across belly button.
7. Height
Measure your body height standing straight against the wall.
