If you are going to move the buckles and underapron strap, be aware that the buckle tabs on the Stillwater kilt are sewn on partly by the fell stitching. You will need to resew part of the fell on the pleat that the buckle tabs extend under on your right hand side.

Also, the underapron strap is attached between the facing folds with a single line of stitching that also holds the facing and lining together in that area. Much of the stitching holds multiple parts and layers of the Stillwater kilts together, so careful planning is needed when moving or removing parts for alterations.
Once I have the kilt in-hand, expect me to pester you for some more precise directions... If you or anyone else has experience in this regard, and you'd like to make a pre-emptive posting, I would be more than happy to be "fore-warned is fore-armed."
