I've already shrunk out of my new semi-trad
Rocky, that semi-trad I got from you a few months (and 35lbs ago) has finally made it to the last holes.

It's still looks great... but this picture was snapped tuesday night as tight as possible, and I still needed to cinch the belt a little bit.



It is my favorite kilt, so I was wondering... do you do alterations of already-made USAK's? It's a shame that this one is only about 6 months old (at the most).

Either way, you'll be hearing from me in a month or two, when I need a replacement.

Re: I've already shrunk out of my new semi-trad
Yes, we can (to a point). If you need the buckles moved 2 to 3", that's do-able. More than that would require major surgery and you're better off selling that one and re-ordering in the new smaller size.

BTW... congrats on the weight loss!

Timely question from my perspective, Joshua. I have a 16 oz. wool knife pleat that fit great 25 pounds ago. I'm also on the last holes in my straps.

Sorry to hear of your "problem," but glad to hear the "reason." Nicely done!
