    velcro adjustment limitations

    Sorry if this has been asked already but I couldn't find it. I'm curious just how much adjustment the casual kilts can handle using their Velcro closure system? If I order a kilt to my measurements and later lose or gain weight how many inches on my waistline could the kilt accommodate?

    The Casuals have a 5" piece of velcro on the right and left hips. When you order it, the velcro will match up dead on (to the measurement you give). If you gain or lose 2.5 or 3", the velrco will still securely fasten and will still fit fine.

    I lost 20 pounds from chemo and my USA Casuals still fit fine.

    Worst case - velcro patches you can sew on are available almost everywhere.

    But there is a limit.

    If a kilt became too small or too large just sell it here and use the proceeds to buy the new size. Kilts, especially USA Kilts, retain their value well.

    Thanks Rocky. I tried looking for this information on the usakilts.com site but didn't see anything about the Velcro.

    Thanks!
