    I've already shrunk out of my new semi-trad

    Rocky, that semi-trad I got from you a few months (and 35lbs ago) has finally made it to the last holes.

    It's still looks great... but this picture was snapped tuesday night as tight as possible, and I still needed to cinch the belt a little bit.



    It is my favorite kilt, so I was wondering... do you do alterations of already-made USAK's? It's a shame that this one is only about 6 months old (at the most).

    Either way, you'll be hearing from me in a month or two, when I need a replacement.
    Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

    Re: I've already shrunk out of my new semi-trad

    Yes, we can (to a point). If you need the buckles moved 2 to 3", that's do-able. More than that would require major surgery and you're better off selling that one and re-ordering in the new smaller size.

    BTW... congrats on the weight loss!

    Timely question from my perspective, Joshua. I have a 16 oz. wool knife pleat that fit great 25 pounds ago. I'm also on the last holes in my straps.
    I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?

    Sorry to hear of your "problem," but glad to hear the "reason." Nicely done!
