SWK kilt arrived, but ...

Yep, comfort is everything!

Make sure you have it up where you will be wearing it, with the belt and shirt you'll use most with it. Then decide.

When you do take the basting stitches out it will loosen up a bit in the hips but NOT in the waist.

Iain Robb,

Just send it back like I did, I had ordered mine too big too, and then my other problem was that the kilt was too long, so I had a tailor do a bind hem, and now I wear my Black Watch proudly.

Cheers
Chris

I tried it on in the evening, with one of the shirts I plan on wearing with it, and wore it for a while, and the fit actually seems fine.

Thanks for the reassurance, folks. It was a bit unnerving to go from "Oboy oboy it's here it's here!" to "O drat! Did I order the wrong size?"

But now I've taken out the basting stitches and presses out a few wrinkles, and I'm good to go!

That's good news! If you should need an extra smidge of adjustment, it's dead easy to move the waist straps. It would probably end up fitting much better than the next smaller size.

As for me i would rather have a couple of different sizes to fall back to.
My waistline goes up an down like the gas prices-mostly up.
In winter i get up to 36,and summer i usally stay around 32.

So i would hang on to it if its heavy enough to use in the winter months,but thats just me.
