New kilt
Last December I made arrangements with Dunadd to have a kilt made for my 50th from some tartan a friend brought back from Geoffrey Tailor years ago. Not surprisingly it wasn't up to the kiltmakers usual standards, so it was decided to splurge and just do a complete kilt from scratch, using Locharron 16 oz strome. It arrived a couple weeks ago, the material is quite nice, and I though I'd post some pics.

Nice kilt. I like the tartan. They made it small didn't they? Was that how you wanted it? When I ordered my last two kilts I gave my measurements so that they would be on the last hole on the strap. I need to loose weight so that makes me a little more motivated.
Let YOUR utterance be always with graciousness, seasoned with salt, so as to know how you ought to give an answer to each one.

Great looking kilt. Gorgeous tartan. What tartan is it? It will certainly look great in full-dress mode, eg. PC, vest, etc. Post some pics for us to drool over. :-)
And, Happy 50th!
I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

What tartan is it? I like the gray tones.

It is a bit small Cowher; I thought perhaps it might form a bit as the liner is more substantial than some, and the material itself is quite heavy. Fits more like a 32/37 than 34/35 40/41. Thigh measurement was 36/37, so possibly mixed up with breech.
At least it will encourage me not to gain weight, lol.

Nice kilt, but it is definitely too small in the waist. I suggest you contact the kiltmaker about this problem.

They are sending extension straps. I was livid when I first got it, which I regret. It came down to keep the kilt and move the buckles, or return it for a full refund. I liked the material so much i decided to keep it....and I confess I'd been so looking forward to it that i couldn't really bear the thought of returning it, an emotional indulgence I truly hope to surmount as at my age it is a bit childish.

In your shoes, I would find the fit unacceptable. Custom made kilts are far too expensive to tolerate that.

I'd echo that sentiment.... it doesnt look like you have a whole lot of weight to drop to make it fit better either...
