Surfing the Internet, I stumbled across a retired military kilt. The waist measurement was originally a 33", but it looks like it has been altered to fit a soldier with a larger waist. Is that what you folks with more trained eyes see here? I can see a distinctly different tartan fabric has been added. I also see a new piece of lining material in a tan color. It also looks like the leather strap and buckle have been reattached and sewn by hand. What do you experienced kilt makers or wearers have to say about this alteration? Does it look like it was done properly? Will it cause problems with the fit of the kilt, or with the way the apron hangs? What size would you estimate the altered waist size would be if the original kilt was a 31" (a rough estimate will suffice)? https://m.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Original....c100930.m5375

I figure it would fit me considering my waist, measured at the belly button is a 36". It looks like it has been enlarged to fit someone who is about my size or possibly even more rotund. I have been in a bit of a bidding battle on this one. I'm looking to step into my first tartan kilt and I thought this one looked interesting.
