    Take it to your local tailor or dry cleaner with tailor service. All they have to do is move the 2 buckles on the right hip and the 1 strap on the left hip. It's a 10 minute process that any competent tailor can do and should cost you no more than $20.

    I agree with Rocky that it's a simple thing and shouldn't break the bank.

    I disagree that moving two buckles and one strap will only take 10 minutes! lol... I sew fast, but not that fast! :-)

    I agree. I've done it three times and each time it takes just a touch under 1 hour.
