Our Plaid Cummerbund is made with an adjustable elastic strap at the back so it fits waist sizes from 34 - 40 inch waist (86 - 102cm), although we can make them smaller or larger to order. Please select the Custom option and once you have selected your plaid, you can enter your waist measurement. Sizes from 42 inch waist upwards carry a small surcharge.
To measure your waist:
Run the tape measure firmly around your waist at the navel, the actual waist, not at the top of the hip where trousers usually sit.
The Fabric
We use a top quality lightweight 8oz wool fabric, woven in Scotland, to make your plaid cummerbund. This fabric will last a long time if cared for correctly and is light enough to be comfortable at evening receptions and events. Wool is a natural fabric which has the added benefit that it breathes. We back it with a lightweight polyester to ensure it lies smoothly.

Properly cared for, your plaid cummerbund will last for decades.
This is a pure wool fabric and should be dry cleaned only. Wool fabric can become dull with general dust and dirt, however gentle brushing with a garment brush will brighten it up again.
