    Great instructions. I had to do this to my kilt a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I did it correctly!

    I did have a difficult time deciding how far to move the buckles and straps. I ended up measuring the kilt laying flat and doubling the measurement and subtracting my current waist measurement, which seems the obvious choice, but I landed on the strap fitting on the tightest hole. If I did it again (which I hope I'll have to) I'd get someone to help me mark the location of the middle hole as I wrapped the kilt around myself tightly.

    Just wrap the kilt around you without putting the strap through the hole, nice and tight, and see where the straps are with respect to the buckles. Measure how much you need to move them, write it down, take the kilt off, and move the buckles and straps that amount. Easy peasy.
