Tartan Information
From the designer of this tartan: "Capturing the true blue of Ukrainian People, this design integrates the black for the rich fertile soil of the Ukrainian farm lands, and the gold for the fields of wheat, the deep blue of the sky above. These three items combine to make Ukraine a land of glorious bounty.
About the Designers: Lidiya Nikolaevna Khlystun Clear was born, raised, and lived most of her life in Ukraine; and still has family and many friends there. Her grandfather was a survivor of the Auschwitz Nazi Concentration Camp; so, as for many Ukrainian people, their fight for survival is close and personal. Lidiya is an RN, and considers herself a medical missionary wherever God places her. Her time spent with Roma people in Ukraine helped establish her love for mixed media tapestries. Lidiya lives in the US now with her husband Kelly, and their five children. Kelly is part Scotsman and lives in kilts.
Lidiya hopes for this design to provide hope and inspiration for her country, as well as serve as a reminder to the world of the strength of the Ukrainian people. We WILL have our freedom!! "

Sizing / Measuring
Waist Measurement:
Standard, Standard II, and Deluxe Utility Kilts: Order the size measured. Do not change it up or down. If in between sizes, you can go to the next size up for a loose fit or the next size down for a more snug fit. Each kilt has an extra set of snaps on the waist to adjust up 1 inch.
Ultimate Utility Kilts: Order the size measured. The size you order will be the smallest size the comfort was can go. The elastic in the comfort waist will adjust up 2 inches comfortably. It will adjust up slightly more than that but it is not recommended, though once you go beyond the 2 inches you do start to feel the elastic stretching around your waist.
Athlete: Order the size measured. If you are in between sizes you can order the size down or the size up since it has a velcro waist that will accommodate the difference in size.
Length Measurement:
This really is personal preference. While some say that a kilt, traditionally speaking, should come to high knee, we firmly believe that you should order what is comfortable. A good rule we recommend following if you are new to kilts is going with what your current pair of shorts are. If they are high, mid, or low knee, use them to figure out how long you want it and measure to that point.
