    I have just the one and it had the straps moved once, and was shipped back to Lochcarron twice to be rebuilt. They did a fantastic job, and you can't tell that work was done on it.

    If I had a quality wool kilt like that, I'd certainly consider getting it remade. Good idea.

    To date, however, I've experimented in the low to mid price range to date, however, so that my mistakes are less expensive (Mistakes, yes, I've made a few!)

    My most expensive kilt is a USA Kilt semi-trad. Great kilt, but I suspect it might be as cost effective to sell it, and buy a new one in the right size, as to get it remade. Might be worth a brief e-mail to Rocky to enquire. Good call.

    I find, though, that as I buy kilts I learn more about what I like and dislike. Tartans in photos don't look the same up close, or don't look the same on my frame. I find, therefore, a natural desire to invest dollars moving forward in my kilt quest (new designs and tartans), than backwards (remaking an older kilt).
