Taking Your Measurements: For men it is important to have the correct "starting point". this is exactly 2 inches above the hip bone.
WAIST (1) From this starting point measure across the stomach , this is the waist measurement. Note, this waist measurement is not the same as a trouser waist measurement, as the kilt is worn higher the waist measurement is usually greater than the trouser measurement.
SEAT (2) Take the widest area across the bottom, and measure around, do not put the tape measure tight, this should be a fairly loose measurement.
LENGTH (3) Whilst kneeling on the floor and keeping your back upright. That is, not looking forward and down whilst taking the measurement, measure from the starting point ( 2 inches above hip) to the floor. There is a temptation to lean forward to view the measurement but this causes an inaccurate length measurement.

Choosing Your Tartan: There are thousands of registered tartans however most weavers only keep a stock of around 500 of the most popular. Some tartans may only be available in certain weights and we will check this for you.
Clan, Family, District and Corporate tartans Anyone who has the correct clan surname or whose surname is a sept of a clan can wear a kilt in that tartan, The wearing of district tartans or others such as 'Scottish National' or' Flower of Scotland' is open to anyone. There are also 'Corporate Tartans' which have been designed specifically for a company or organisation and wearing of these can be restricted. However in most cases these would be 'special weaves'
Special Weaves In cases where a tartan is not available we can arrange to have it woven for you however most weavers have a minimum run on such orders which is usually 15 Meters (enough to make 3-4 kilts)
