The show finally opened a week ago, so I can now concentrate on projects I want to do. The first being the new kilt for my husband's best friend. The second being my husbands new black kilt.

I am curious about something. My husband keeps telling me he has to cinch his kilt in an inch in order to wear it. This causes it to ride up an addtional inch or two, which makes it WAY too short.

What could I have done wrong? I made the waist to his exact waist measurement. Could it be he is just wearing it too low?

Lastly I'm going to ask a seemly stupid question but I need a good answer for my hubby. Why do you put the velcro on the waist band? Is this to help keep it closed? Is using straps replacing it? What?
