AMM,
I beg to differ with you on this one.  I have 2 UK's and their
sizing is 
quite correct.  One is a 42 and the other is a 44.
I'm finally able to wear the 44 comfortably.  The 42 is still a
bit snug  
 
They are wash-n-wear (so to speak).  I don't have to dry-clean
them, just throw them in the washer on 
COLD, then hang them 
on skirt hangers to drip-dry.   Same with my Stillwater Kilts.
Just don't dry them in a dryer, let them drip-dry from hangers.
This is my experience with UK's and Stillwater Kilts.
Uncle Al
