I ordered a that that fit perfectly, but had no room for me to lose weight, so UTKilts traded me in one size smaller, no problem. I'm also wearing the black smooth finish belt from UT Kilts. I had wanted a wool kilt after the cotton utility kilt I owned was too cool in winter. This kilt is amazing in the wool and the details in the tailoring. Perfect for an American of German ancestry with no Scottish Clan of his own. Also perfect for supporting the Girls Rock program here, and perfect for music performance, traditional or metal.
