I have a heavy leather oil tanned belt that I would like to wear with my contemporary kilt. The only issue is it's one of the models that's designed to fit between a 30 and 54" waist. This mean that with my 34" waist it looks like I'm a little kid that borrowed daddy's belt with the foot and a half of extra belt. When wearing it as a tool belt it doesn't matter I just tuck the extra in the loop of the tool belt and don't care, but if I'm going to wear it out with my kilt I'd like it to look like it fits properly. What is the best way to cut it giving a crisp edge? It has a stitched edge and what type of thread is generally used for this? I thank the rabble in advance for their help.
