Before purchasing a Kilt, it's essential to know your size. Luckily, measuring is quite simple and only requires four measurements. You will need a tailor's measuring tape, which you can find at any craft or sewing store if you don't have one. Avoid using a metal tape measure! It’s also helpful to have a reliable friend assist you with the measurements.

It's really important that you don't rely on your pant size! They can be misleading about how big your waist is, so you shouldn't trust them.

I usually wear a size 34 in Levis, but my kilts can be between 36 and 39 inches, depending on how I wear them. If you give us your jeans waist size, your kilt might not fit right, and you'll end up disappointed.

1. Waist

Blue Line Choose where you want to wear your kilt. You can wear it at your natural waist, which is just above your belly button and higher than how most guys wear their pants today. Alternatively, you can wear it lower on your hips like you would with jeans or shorts. It’s really up to you and what feels best for you. However, if you're a larger guy, I usually recommend wearing your kilt higher up. This way, it looks better than if the waistband is sitting under your stomach, and the front of the kilt will hang nicely.

2. Hip – Red Line

To find the widest part of your backside, take a loose measurement around it. To locate this spot, stand with your back against a wall and gently move backward. The area that makes contact with the wall first is the place where your Trusty Assistant should measure.

3.  Distance between waist and Hip

Measure from your waist to your hips using the tape. The pleats will be stitched down along the seam, which helps create the special swish and swing of a kilt when you move.

4. Kilt Length

A kilt is usually worn around the knee area. If you prefer a classic style, you'll want your kilt to sit at the top of your knee. However, if you like to break the rules and prefer it lower on your hips, you can wear it at the bottom of your knee. My kilt is about in the middle of my knee because that's how I like it. Now, stand up straight and have someone help you measure from your waist down to where you want the hem of your kilt to be on your knee. That’s all there is to it!

Keep in mind that these measurements matter and must be correct. Measure two times, and then measure again to confirm. If something seems off or if you have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask me.

Measuring Guide : Custom-Fit Jacket

1. Chest size: Measure around the chest while your arms are hanging down.

2. Waist: Taken at the thinnest part of the waist.

3. Back length: Measure from the back of your neck to where you want the jacket to stop. (This is personal preference).

4. Sleeve: Measure from the joint of your shoulder to your wrist, tracing the shape of your sleeve while keeping your arm relaxed.

5. Shoulder: Measure from the top of one shoulder to the top of the other shoulder, right where the sleeves connect.
