Keepng a kilt up

[Jerry]

I can't imagine how a kilt could fall down. I suppose if the waist were bigger than the hips. In which case you'd probably need suspenders to hold it up when you're just standing there. And if you're wearing suspenders, then you've solved the falling-down problem.

I'm 62, and have a bit of a "beer gut or middle age spread" as they say, so my hips are the same or even slightly smaller than my kilt waist. On top of that, I've dropped 6 pounds since I started going to the gym.I was already wearing my kilts with the straps set at their tightest. I never have to loosen or unbuckle the straps tp put my kilts on, just step into the kilt and pull it up and tuck in my shirt. They stay up fine when I'm just standing or walking slowly. and so far, I haven't actually felt like one was going to fall off, but they do all feel loose. I take care of the problem by keeping my kilt belt tighter than most might consider. I need to find someone locally who can move the straps and buckles for me, especially if I lose a few more pounds.

Hey Daneel! are things getting a bit rough in Northern Ireland? Are you finding a need to run or fight?

Just don't wear a football top walking down Shankill Road or in any pubs.
Stay home and have a nice cuppa tea;)

There should be seamstresses or a tailor listed in the phone book that do alterations.

Daneel,

I would say use Duck Tape. However, if this is a subtle way to tell us that you are losing weight, well done and fight on!

I wish! I wish! Duct Tape and hairs Ahh! what a combination. I think the problem lies with having poorly defined hips ( a nice way of saying to much middle age spread) and a kilt that is probably too large. Thankfully Graham fight or flight is not the problem. It all ways starts that movement down when I am carrying some thing and my hands are full. I wonder is the kilt alive and knows how to really frighten me with the ultimate horror!!!!!!!!
