You missed the point, as, I think, does Utilikilts. Please go back and re-read this thread.
(1) I
did follow their instructions, such as they are.
(2) The first kilt they sent me was, by their own admission, not cut to the advertized size. According to the guy I spoke with there, this is an ongoing problem.
(3) Their kilts are cut in a way that they don't fit a lot of guys. (See the post preceding yours.) They seem to assume that their customers have narrow hips and thighs, and they make their kilts on the snug side even for those customers. I'm not the only one at SkirtCafe who has had to order a kilt with a waist size that is a few inches too big in order to get one that is not too tight.
My experience with Utilikilts was that I fell for their hype and spent a lot of money and a fair amount of aggravation and ended up with a product that is not as good as what I can make myself -- and I'm not a particularly good "seamster." Utilikilts is a bit of a sore point with me, and it doesn't make it any less sore to have someone, as I see it, suggesting that the real problem was that I can't follow their instructions for measuring myself.
