So, my waist has been getting slowly smaller over the past few month (weight is staying approximately the same), due to more regular working out. The bad news is that this means that some of my traditional kilts now are too big in the waist. I know that I could break out needle and thread, move the left strap back further on the underapron and the buckles back on the right side. However, I really hate the idea of doing that (OK, I'm lazy) on the chance that my waist will get larger again, or geteven smaller if I am lucky!

Anyway, I recently got my first PK from Jeff. I like the fasteners he uses, and since he provides 3 possible mating points on both the left and right sides, there is a lot of flexibility in the waist size. So my question is, does anybody see a problem with changing a trad to have the same type of fasteners? I was thinking that I could detach the left strap from the underapron and leave it buckled through the buckle, then detach the buckle on the right side, with the strap buckled, and devise a way to provide a "floating" attachment for the buckle (thinking a small strip of velcro. Optionally, I could get rid of the buckles, but I think that they add to the good look of a traditional. Although, thinking about it, who ever sees them anyway when wearing a kilt belt.

Thought??
