    Hey Scoutniagra,

    One of the joys of my UKs is the flexibility in the waist. I didn't expect it. But be careful to get the models without the double snaps on the waist band.

    The models with the double snaps on the waistband are less flexible. Though, a person could leave those waistband snaps undone and get some flexibility.

    No clue why, but for the models that are still just the six apron snaps there's room for a couple more inches of waist growth. Remember, they're usually worn under the belly if you got one.

    My weight ranges back and forth over a ten pound range and I can still wear my UKs

    And, as others have mentioned, if you can get to one of their gig booths you can give them a hands on try.

    That's very true. One of the coolest things about the UK is this feature. You set the waist size with your belt.

    All UK models are now coming with the snaps (well except the spartan). I'm personally not happy about it either (yes Adam the tireless UK defender just criticized them).

    Dang! Sorry to hear that. Good thing I laid in a nice supply of the old ones.

    Guess you don't have to snap the waist snaps if you don't wanna, but guess they'd look kinda funny unsnapped...or the belt would grind them into bellyflesh.

    I've come to really like my leather UK for the adjustability it offers...though the corset lacing is a bear to alter and they just don't think anyone needs instructions on the corset lacing included with such an expensive product.

    As my waistline drifts between high tide and low tide I've had to readjust them laces a bunch.
