In order to properly fit your kilt, you need to have the right measurements. It only takes a few minutes and just four simple measurements. You will need to have a soft tailor's measuring tape (not the metal one) and have someone to assist you while you take your measurements.
Remember, your pants or jeans sizes are likely to be different from a kilt. Most people think they have a certain waist size, but when they measure for the kilt, it certainly gets two or three inches large or small. A kilt uses a different measurement technique than jeans, so do not forget to follow the measurement steps mentioned below.
Okay, here we go! Please check the video below.
1Waist Measurement
Everyone wears a kilt on different positions, but it totally depends on you where you feel comfortable wearing it. As an expert kilt maker, we recommend you wear your kilt higher than jeans, near your navel (belly button). This position gives a cleaner look and helps the kilt hang properly. It also supports the weight of the fabric.
After selecting your spot, wrap the tape around your body. Just try to keep the tape straight and snug but not tight. Stand tall without holding your stomach in or pushing it out.
2Hip Measurement
Now, measure the widest part of your hips. Not sure where that part actually is? Don't worry, just stand straight and see which part feels fullest. Keep the tape straight and snug. This measurement is important because your kilt must have enough space to be able to move and drape down well, without any bunching up while you walk
3Distance between Waist and Hip
Now you must measure the waist-to-hip ratio. Measure the distance from the waist point that you decided on to your fullest hip point. Start by positioning the tape at your waist and then running it straight down your side to the widest part of your hips.
This measurement will assist kilt makers to set the pleats correctly, so that your kilt hangs beautifully.
4Kilt Length
A kilt traditionally falls somewhere around the knee. Some people prefer the top of the knee for a more classic look. Some prefer it a bit longer if they wear their kilt on the hips. It is up to you and your style of wearing a kilt.
To get the perfect measurement, stand up tall with your natural posture. Then have your assistant measure from your waist point down to a part of your knee that’s roughly the distance you’d like the kilt to be. If you’re not sure of what length will suit, choose a classic knee-length, it works well for most people.
