Welcome from Michigan

I don't know if you have ever worn a kilt before, but if not, make sure you are wearing it high enough. The top of the kilt should be above your belly button. Not down on your hips like pants.

I recently had a kilt that was reduced from a 38" to a 36". It was done by the kilt maker, so I'm not sure if a competent tailor could do this adequately or not. The solution for me was to move the two side buckles, right side, and the single strap on the left. It fits great...can't even tell it was a 38." See the thread: "Help,Tightening up a Kilt." Barb Tewksbury chimes in.

As for the length, I haven't a clue there. Good luck!

Have you tried Colleen at KiltRental.Com? I believe that she is in the Springs.

I too want to pass on me welcome to ya!

Never heard of the place. I'll check it out.
Thanks gordontaos.
By the way, as many times as I've been to New Mexico I've never made it to Taos.
I'm hoping to get there this year when I visit my friends in Rociada, Las Vegas NM.

Thanks Sammac.
I wore a kilt back in my 20's and not again until last year. I'm wearing it higher than normal because it is so long. As soon as I can get it shortened I'll be able to wear it at the correct waist height.
Thanks for your input. Regards

Hi all,

I'm off to the UK in just under two weeks to pick up my handmade kilt and bring it back to Colorado (and spend a week doing things in Ireland before I return). I'm happy to be part of this group and look forward to some future interaction and get togethers! I'm so glad I live here now instead of TX b/c the wool will come in handy here!
