Help with Droopy Apron

[Arnot]

Because this is a pipe band kilt, my suggestion would be to save it for someone else in the future and get a new one to fit this person. If you were to charge for a total re-build, you would have to charge not only for the re-stitching time but also the cost for your time to take the whole damn thing apart, plus an extra charge for the really challenging aspect of trying to re-pleat a piece of tartan with big chunks cut out at every pleat. Personally, I wouldn't take the job even if they paid me the full cost of a new kilt!!!

It's actually his personal kilt. I made his band kilt myself so it fits properly. I see what you mean, though. When I did the rebuild I was thinking that it was a good thing it was a family thing or I might not have done it either!

I have contacted him requesting more photos. Hopefully he gets back with me soon.

Many thanks.

OH! Sorry I wasn't on the page. When someone asks me about something like this for a personal kilt, I typically tell them to sell it unaltered and use the proceeds to buy a new one that fits properly.
