Resizing a Kilt?

[Benning Boy]

You could easily make a smaller kilt work just by the use of strap extenders, or whatever they're called. They're just straps that strap onto the straps and make them effectively longer. You should be able to find them through any X Marks advertiser. You might try Highland Express. I have it on good authority that quite a few sellers of kilt straps and buckles actually get them through Highland Express, even very big names in the kilt world. I use extender straps on a couple of my kilts. The straps help keep me motivated as I lose weight. I'm looking forward to the day when I can "throw away the crutches."

A larger kilt could be tightened up by moving the buckle(s) on the right side and the strap on the left side. Barb Tewksbury has related here and elsewhere just how great a change can be made doing this. Consult the Professional Kilt Makers forum here. Scroll back through the contents.
