Good evening Dexter, I have had luck installing snaps on my UT kilt downsizing from a 42 to a 40. Cost was about 8 bucks for snaps and punch. I have been lurking around the 511 site thinking about a inexpensive run around the house kilt. I have a 38 waist in jeans but a 40 kilt. Would like to know what you think of them too.
