I now have 6 traditional kilts...all ordered within 6 months...all more or less the same size...

When I strap on a kilt...left and right strap...both centre hole.

Vacation...English/Scottish breakfa(s)t, the not so wee drams, 5 course dinners, bottle of Chardonnay, coffee with a nice brandy...and of course a not so wee dram to finish the day in style (burp!).

Repeat the above 20 or so days in a row....

Strap on kilt....huh? umpf! woops!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHH!!!!! :shock:

I lost...(or is it gained?) a hole left and right :(

Took me a full month to re-conquer the centre holes again.

Kilts are great! They keep me in shape! :D

yeah...
the cost of a good kilt alone is reason enough to stay in shape!

I unfortunately have the opposite problem. I'll not eat enough for a few weeks and find that my kilts have somehow grown and I usually wear them in the smallest or second to smallest holes anyway. It gives me a good excuse to go out and get some pub food and lay off the running for a few days.

Then last weekend I found I actually gained weight for a change. Two nights out in one weekend and not a healthy thing eaten at either. Deep fried vegetables don't count.

I've actually hoped you would start to grow out of your kilts as we are the same size. Expect a giant fast food coupon book in the mail. O'Neille

That's what I love about this group . . . always willing to help the other guy out!! :cool:

Lie they don't! When I expanded beyond the straps of my first kilt, I added leather extensions to the straps. I was seriously in denial. I recently had the kilt re-built... so now I can start over.:)

You guys are way too skinny. :evil: Teasing I am just envious. It is my responsibility no one forces me to eat :rolleyes:

Robin,

You know it could be that your straps have just shrunk with...err...all that humidity...err...or something. It's not you...it's those evil nasty shrinking strap's fault :evil: (Panache as enabler, He He)

Cheers

This is the reason why I'm actually kind of glad that I haven't heard anything recently about the two kilts I have on order (the fabric is on order; final measurements haven't been done yet). I don't want my new kilts to fit at the size I am now; I want them to be fitted at a waist that's 2-4" smaller.
The kilts are an incentive to lose weight, and keep it off. As it is right now, I have one kilt that is almost small, and another getting there.:?

No, no no!

Leather SHRINKS....

No, really..HOnest.
