Kilts make you watch the old waistline.

[Lallans]

My own 8 yd kilt, at least, keeps me locked in at the weight I was when I bought the thing, give or take a pound or two (ie, a kilo). Meaning I will have to stick with a (hopefully slight) beer gut look in perpetutiy- but on the other hand can never become a two-seater guy on an airplane. The fact of the matter is that I'm just too cheap to abandon an $850 custom-made garment.

It doesn't have to be an expensive kilt either. I recently gave away the first two X-kilts I made because the waistlines no longer fit my expansion. Two of my Stillwaters are on the last belt hole. Guess it's time to stop using the exer-cycle for a clothes rack and ensure that the kilts I do have (and any future purchases) don't keep shrinking.

Barb Tewksbury recently had a thread about how simple it is to make a kilt SMALLER. Don't feel locked in to the beer gut. Besides, you would be amazed at how fast the health problems of being overweight can use up the price of even a tank.

Actually my kilt came in a few inches too large at the waist (the maker assured me it had to be my fault and possibly it was, me and last few of the eleventy-seven women who did the measuring- never ask for such-like urgent help at work- so the kilt in question is already taken in somewhat past the point of maximum attractiveness. Now that I've thought of it, what I need to do is to gain weight. That I can do, or at least die trying.
