    Well, if you don't mind strap extenders, that would be fine.

    I was thinking of how the Stillwater is constructed on that first reverse pleat at the underapron, and how it does not exactly line up with the top apron edge.

    If you can not put the kilt on at the last hole of the strap as it is, you are probably going to have quite a wide strip of underapron showing.

    That would be the main issue with the extenders.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    I used to be a 30 waist until a couple of years ago, when I ballooned up to a 36 within literally a couple of months. It's really strange as my diet or living habits haven't changed. I can only assume it's my metabolism as I'm now in my latter-30's. Adopting a healthier lifestyle has brought me back down to my current 'fat' 32. I very much doubt I'll get back to my svelte 30 waist.

    This is my main concern. I can fasten the buckle on the left but cannot get the strap on the right to even touch its buckle. If I use extenders I will definately have lots of under apron showing.

    I was wondering if I could undo the last pleat on the left to give me that extra couple of inches without ruining the look of the kilt. I haven't had a proper look to see if this is viable - just an idea.
