IMPORTANT: It is preferrable to have someone else take these measurements rather than yourself.
1. Natural waist. This is NOT your trouser size! For most people, this is the indent at your side just above the navel. This measurement should be fairly snug.
2. Hips. Measure the widest part of your hips. This can be loosely done over clothing.
3. Length of the kilt. Measure from your natural waist to the top of your knee-cap. Keep your back straight and don't look down. Add 5 cm (2") to this result, or 10 cm (4") if you desire a military rise. For most people this is uncomfortably high on the ribs, so unless your are looking for a military-styled kilt, I suggest a rise of no more than 5 cm (2").
Additional Measurements: Height and Weight. This is needed to double check other measurements.
Note: Measurements 124.5 cm (49") and over will incur a surcharge. Please contact me (john@gaelicclothing.com) for exact pricing.
