    Help..advice for a small kilt

    Okay rabble, I need your input on the following matter: I'm interested in purchasing a used (in great shape) tank. The measurements are close, except for the main one, the waist. It's listed at 32", but I'm a 36". I assume this kilt can expand to 34", but should I do the purchase and go with extender straps? Hey, the price is decent, like $100. I could resell it, eh??

    Any words of wisdom are greatly appreciated!!!

    kilts that are too small are really not worth it, you will have a large portion of the underapron showing and it will look sloppy.

    I'd say pass it up and keep saving your pennies to get something that fits.

    I have a Buchanan for sale that is a 38" waist. Thought I would throw that out there. Hope I am not overstepping here. Sorry if I am.

    Just ask the seller to put all three straps in the last holes then measure the waist that is the maximum possible. A simple thing to do.

    Seller would be more likely to sell the kilt if they gave the waist measurement for the first holes on the straps and the last holes on the straps.
