Letting out a kilt

If a bloke has gotten a bit...fluffier..around the middle is there a way to get a kilt let out a bit?

The quick way is strap extenders. Little belts (6" to 8" long) that extend the existing straps. It will give you a bit of breathing space to "de-fluff".

If de-fluffing is not possible then moving the buckle on the right hand side and the strap on the left hand side is the next step. Not a difficult job, but a step that you might not want to take. If you do it, what is the incentive to de-fluff?

Many of our vendors here sell the extenders.

Is the extra fluffiness just an inch or two? If so, then moving the buckle and strap, as Chas described is a good solution. Strap extenders are also a good idea.
If it's a matter of super-fluffiness. the aprons could probably be enlarged.
Actually altering a kilt to make it larger involves a lot work and time. Avoiding that cost could be a great motivator to de-fluff. I hear it's easier for guys than for us ladies.

Actually, its only about 2 inches of fluffiness...so I will have to look into the extenders. Thanks Chas for the info....in the meantime I am visiting the running trail to de-fluff
